As I have pointed out in previous posts, travel in Covid times presupposes careful planning. Here is another tip: the Rantapuisto hotel in Eastern Helsinki.
It used to be a private getaway for a bank. Now it looks like a beautifully forgotten conference center in the woods by the seaside. Very David Lynch. The spirit of the past (especially the ‘80s) is preserved. The hotel is large, and it is very easy to avoid close proximity with other humans.
The hotel is a stone’s throw away from one of the most beautiful places in Helsinki: Kallahti (picture). It is a small bay, next to a peninsula, perfect for a Sunday walk.
Special mention for the friendly staff, a wonderful restaurant, and the authentic saunas. The best rooms are spacious and they have a view over the bay.
