Suggestions for birthday surprise in Helsinki?
 
Hey Guys!

My husband and I are traveling to Sweden, Finland, Estonia, and Russia this summer on vacation. His 33rd birthday is July 13th and we will be in Helsinki, Finland that day and I am trying to find a cool unique way to celebrate! If anyone has any good ideas they would be appreciated! Also any ideas in Stockholm, Tallinn, Moscow, or St. Petersburg would be good too! It could include cool restaurants, bars, activities, pretty much anything! We are very adventurous and we love trying new things! We enjoy trying authentic traditional foods of the region we are visiting and we LOVE a good cocktail, wine, or beer. We already are planning on visiting all the "touristy" places in those cities so I am looking for more off the beaten path, unique places.

Thanks guys! Happy Travels!

Hi.
St. Petersburg tip - visit "Bridge oppening" during a night time at city center. It is very romantic and scenery.

Helsinki - as an idea visit 2 new places in Helsinki open this year:
1. See pool in the center of Helsinki. It has evening swim with great view over downtown and nice panorama ber-cafe:
