Helsinki Alone: A Solo Travel Guide for Women 50 and Over

Helsinki, sauna, sea and Senate Square.

Take a weekday lunch at Pompier Espa, book a neighborhood sauna, and ride the ferry to Suomenlinna, then take a tram home after dark rather than walk.

Eat alone: counter seats at Bar Favela, Farang, the Old Market Hall, lohikeitto.

See: Kallio, Eira, Töölönlahti, Porvoo and Nuuksio National Park.

Feel safe: a tram after dark, staffed places when a street feels off.

Day plans, hotels by budget and honest safety notes. EPUB ebook.
