Travel with Tarry

Oodi Library Helsinki is free, central and way more than books. Here's what's on each floor, the best photo spots and tips for your visit.

Helsinki can be pricey, but the best parts are free. Here are the free things to do in Helsinki I tried myself, from Oodi and the National Library to Huvilakatu, plus free museum days.

My exact one day in Helsinki itinerary with times: Oodi Library, Sibelius Monument, coffee at Cafe Bertha, lunch at Market Square, two cathedrals, the National Library, Huvilakatu and a free museum. Mostly free and walkable.
