Tips & Things to Do in Helsinki in March

March in Helsinki blends the magic of late winter with the first hints of spring. Here are some highlights for your stay:

• Relax like a Finn: Try a traditional sauna at Löyly (design sauna by the sea) or Allas Sea Pool, where you can dip into heated pools—or take a refreshing plunge into the Baltic Sea.

• Enjoy the last snow: Weather permitting, locals head to parks for sledding or skiing. Helsinki Central Park even has maintained cross-country skiing tracks.

• Dive into Finnish art, design & architecture: Explore the Design Museum, the Ateneum Art Museum, and Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art—then step outside to admire Helsinki’s mix of Jugendstil, modernist, and contemporary Nordic architecture.

• Taste Nordic flavors: Try traditional dishes like salmon soup, Karelian pies, or reindeer—many restaurants in Helsinki bring a modern twist to local food. For something sweet, grab a cinnamon bun (“korvapuusti”) at a cozy café.

• Walk & explore: Stroll around the Design District or along the seaside paths—March light is crisp and perfect for photography.

Fun Facts About Helsinki & Finland

• 🦄 Moomins are everywhere – Finland’s most famous fictional family. You can find Moomin cafés, mugs, and merch across Helsinki.

• ❄️ Winter superheroes – Finns actually pay to jump into freezing water after a sauna. And they claim it’s “good for circulation.” Try it… if you dare.

• ☕ Coffee nation – The average Finn drinks around 4 cups of coffee a day. At ScanAgile, you’ll fit right in when you reach for your third refill before lunch.

• 🌲 City of nature – Half of Helsinki is green areas or water. It’s one of the only capitals in the world where you can spot a moose just outside the city.

• 🎶 Heavy metal paradise – Finland has more heavy metal bands per capita than anywhere else in the world. Who says saunas and metal don’t mix?

• 🏛️ Architecture lovers’ dream – From Alvar Aalto’s functionalism to bold new wooden buildings, Helsinki blends tradition with modern Nordic design in a way few cities can.
