Spring is coming, so it is safe to step outside again. Helsinki has many amazing seaside walking paths, and here are three of them, accompanied with nice cafes. Go, walk and enjoy!
1. Eira + Cafe Ursula
Walking from Eiranranta to the city centre by the sea offers amazing views. Visit Cafe Ursula in the middle of your walk – they have a wonderful indoor terrace from which you can admire the sea while sipping a warm drink.

Open Mon-Tue 9-18, Wed-Sat 9-19, Sun 9-18
Sailing boats in Eira
2. Hietaniemi  + Cafe Regatta
Walking around Hietaniemi is lovely: there is a beautiful old graveyard, a big beach and, if you go at the right time, the best sunset views in Helsinki. End your walk by visiting one of the cutest cafes in town, Cafe Regatta.
Cafe Regatta, Merikannontie 8, 00260 Helsinki
Open every day 9-21
After sunset in Hietaniemi
3. Munkkiniemi + Cafe Torpanranta
Cosy Munkkiniemi has a nice quiet walking path right by the sea. Next to the small beach there is a wonderful cafe, Cafe Torpanranta. Go here if you want a little getaway from the city.
