Helsinki Survival Guide – Business Traveler Edition

Our tips for the business traveler arriving in Helsinki

Visiting Helsinki for business, especially in the winter, can be a tough experience if you are not prepared. As the snow starts piling up (on the bridge of your nose), and the temperature stays around -20C, many travelers are faced with the harsh realities of doing business at these latitudes. As you wait for your taxi you start loosing feeling in both of your feet and legs. If by chance you happen to have done a lot of cycling in your youth, you may be able to maintain circulation in your thighs until your taxi arrives. Your feet, along with your Italian leather shoes are likely to stay frozen solid until you are already safely back home, tucked under the covers, thinking why your aren’t being paid more for you job. Daylight is scarce, the language is foreign, and the customs are odd. There’s even a real danger of getting killed by ice falling from the roof tops as you casually mind your business.

While the Finnish press may have already become experts at suppressing the annually repeating tragic stories of foreign business men frozen solid by the sides of the road, we have seen it happen all too often. A hasty decision to step out to get a pack of cigarettes is all that it might take after all. That’s why we have put together this guide, to guarantee our beloved travelling business men can manage to do their business and not have to worry about surviving the tundra at the same time.  Our team of experts have narrowed down the essentials of what every man needs, and created this guide so that we may be able to reduce the number of casualties.

Our Helsinki Survival Guide therefore covers: Grooming (hair, facial hair and clothing), food and drinks (both dining and quick bites), accommodationsauna and entertainment. We have also listed 2 local apps that may just be the thing to get you out of a bind.

Clicking on the street address will bring you a google maps view of the locations.

Get food delivered:

If you want to try what the Helsinki restaurant scene has to offer, but don’t feel like risking your neck out in the blizzard, you can try the WOLT app. Wolt allows users to order deliveries from a variety of restaurants and to enjoy them safely from within the comforts of their own bed.

Register yourself an account and get food delivered – the app charges a minor surcharge but takes all the risks (of freezing of body parts).

Drinks:

Entertainment

If you have never tried it, watchinga KHL icehockey game is quite fun. You can get a bite to eat and enjoy a few drinks while you watch some of the biggest stars on the planet face of in the rink. Despite the odds (a Finnish team with mostly Finnish players in a predominantly Russian league and a significantly lower budget), Jokerit, the Helsinki team, seems to be a contender each year.

The games are played at Hartwal Areena, please check the Jokerit schedule to make sure they are playing at home. You may buy tickets through the links on the schedule or just try your luck at the stadium.

Hartwall Areena: http://hartwallarena.fi/en

Street Address: Areenakuja 1

Getting there

Finland is so exotic that using a Uber is actually illegal at the time of writing this. It’s safe for the customer but the driver will get fined, and you will be stalled, and may have to act as interpreter between the Police and your driver, who typically do not share the same language. To get around conveniently you can download Valopilkku, the official app from the Finnish Taxi association (or something like that)

Download from the appstore, should be available for all operating systems.
