Esplanadi

This park is amazing. So tranquil and picturesque in winter. Just think about some Christmas songs when you walk in this park.

The air was crisps and the scenic landscape was captivating.

A small linked park running parallel to one of the main shopping streets in Helsinki. While you'd expect to see a park as a green open space, we were mega excited to see it completely white, covered in snow,cand even more excited that it was still decorated for Christmas.

A walk through a city center park between the dockside marketplace stores, Swedish Theatre by Stockmanns. Short and sweet, lined by expensive stores, it has the elegance of wealth in the 1800's, beautiful in the darkness and twinkling lights

Beautiful walk in the snow Beautiful lights with an added Christmas sparkle absolutely beautiful peaceful place to explore

Nice green space with benches, flowers and some cafes. Good escape from the buildings. Good place to hang out.

My favorite park in Heksinki. It's most beautiful during summertime. Popular with strollers, joggers, and picknickers, it's quieter during cold winter months. Flanked on both side by high-end boutiques, restaurants, and business offices, the neighborhood surrounding it is like a mini "Champ Elysées". A must visit for tourists.

It was the best park for the general public in central Helsinki. I visited it on Vappu day, which was the 1st of May. People were wearing captain hats and bright coloured trousers with lots of brand-names or well-known labels patches sewn on them. The event was spectacular.

Walking park in the middle of a posh and beautiful street with lots of cafes, restaurants and shops.

Nice small park with plenty of shops and restaurants close by to enjoy. There were a few ice-cream vendors in the park when we went and some live music.

Beautiful park in the middle of Helsinki with stalls and a great restaurant and lots of places to visit nearby. Can be a bit icy in the winter, so be careful!

What a fantastic experience, I was glad thinking this may be a bit touristy... I could be more wrong: attentive service, meals arrived at a good interval all in a very nice setting. The food was wonderful, the beef liver was out of this world.!

Great spot in the city centre, usually with some vendors. Mini concerts can happen in special days and there is a restaurant.

Some fun history around this park. Happened to walk through a few times, one of which during an Asian food/cultural festival! Really great place to be.

We came at twilight and was very lovely

Beautiful park to explore as you're walking through central Helsinki. There's usually some event as well, in July there's daily Jazz musicians. Gorgeous scenery as well, and easy to walk off to many restaurants and bars.

A lovely park in the very center of Helsinki. There are several statues and other decorations as well as cafés and restaurants there, and you can sit on one of the many benches to enjoy the sunshine. The flowers make this esplanade particularly beautiful in spring and summer.

Esplanadi Park (or simply Espa) is an urban park in downtown Helsinki that is surrounded by the grand Esplanadi boulevard. It was build by architecture Carl Ludwig in 1826. Cafes, bistros, and upmarket boutiques dot the boulevard.
The park is not as big as some of the other parks in Helsinki but it’s a great place to relax, have a couple of drinks, or just watch the world go by. When the weather is nice there are usually some live music events in the park.

Very beautiful and long park. In Christmas they installed beautiful lights.

Nice park that connects the center of town with market square (where the boats and ships dock). Lined with avenues on both sides that have shops and restaurants. When we visited there was live music and a pretty lovely crowd of locals and tourists.

Beautiful area I'm Helsinki. We visited during the Midsummer Eve holiday. I loved shopping in the open market. It is a beautiful area. Definitely check it out!
