Frequently Asked Questions

Is a food tour in Helsinki worth it?

Absolutely! There’s no better way to experience the beautiful city of Helsinki and its culture than a food tour with a local guide.

What is the most famous food in Helsinki?

It’s hard to decide among the many delicious dishes in Helsinki, but many people say their favorites are either salmon soup or Karelian pasty.

Are tourists welcome in Helsinki?

Yes, absolutely. There’s an Helsinki tradition, the passeggiata—the gentle evening stroll to see and be seen. It’s about enjoying the city’s beauty at a relaxed pace, and it’s a feeling we believe every visitor should experience in Helsinki.

You’ll find the spirit of the passeggiata from locals when you connect with the city respectfully. It’s found when you support the family-run trattorias in Trastevere, help keep the ancient fountains pristine, and learn to navigate the beautiful, organised chaos of daily life. This is the authentic Helsinki experience.

It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.

Do the tours accommodate vegetarian or gluten-free diets?
