ABOUT HELSINKI MANUAL

Helsinki Manual’s greatest hope and objective is to make your life in Finland easier. 

Whether you have just arrived or already settled down, living in a foreign country without a thorough knowledge of its language, culture and, in general, way of life, presents you with a challenge every day. And, let’s face it, usually the full know-how is available to the locals only. At the same time, however, who would like to store all the information in their own mind? This is where we see Helsinki Manual entering the scene as a source of indispensable “insider’s” knowledge accessible to you as needed.

We would love to provide you with a vital and comprehensive Manual that enables you to handle life in Finland more easily. Settling down, practicalities and peculiarities, entertainment, and most relevant news coverage included. Of necessity, the detailed coverage has to be limited to the Metropolitan Area (Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Kauniainen), where we are based. More general information, we hope, shall be useful also to the residents of other regions of Finland though.
