There are old villas from 19th century around the railway and Töölönlahti bay on an area called Linnunlaulu (”song of a bird”). They are very pretty. You can have a cup of coffee for example in Sinisen Huvilan Kahvila (”cafe of a blue villa”) or Art Cafe Taideterassi and shoot some photos while you are there. On that area is also a small playhouse built in the same way as the villas and it is popular in Instagram.

When people talk about green cities in social media they often use a picture of a Finnish tram going through an alley of lindens on Mäkelänkatu street in Vallila. The amount of green colour there is amazing on the summer time and it looks great in photos - but it is just a tram line. Best address to take this kind of photo is on a tram stop Rautalammintie or tram stop Uintikeskus, tram 7. But don’t get hit by a tram!
