Matt's Guide to Helsinki... Part 4
After managing to get from the airport, finding some digs, going out all day, and having some fabulous food, you want to while away the evenings in style. Helsinki, like any decent European capital has a shed load of entertainment on offer to keep you occupied into the early hours. A word of warning: alcohol in Finland tends to be taxed heavily and costs an arm and a leg. As a result, most Finns will tend to start their evenings at home with a couple of beers and head out later on; this means that bars and nightclubs tend to look like ghost towns until around 10pm when things start to warm up. The upside to this is that most drinking establishments continue on into the early hours so you can party all night if you want.
