Guidebook for Helsinki
Shopping
Redi shopping centre opened its doors during the autumn 2018. There are many cafeterias, restaurants and shops in Redi. There is also a sightseeing deck in the same building.
I especially recommend you the biggest grocery store in this area K Supermarket in K1 level in Redi. If you want to create an evening with wonderful delights, I recommend you Chjoko (Chjoko is modern artisan chocolate maker in Helsinki) and and Juustokuninkaat ( a great cheese seller) shops also in same K1 floor. If you want to have wine with it, there is also Alko (Finnish alcohol store) in the same floor.

Arts & Culture
One of the newest museums in town. Museum has also odd but nice domes on its roof. The art museum’s gently curved domes mark out various scales for diverse activities in the Square. These hill-like shapes are mostly sloped so as to allow people to walk over them. They serve as grandstands, stages or platforms for spending time freely.
