    Beautiful park to explore as you're walking through central Helsinki. There's usually some event as well, in July there's daily Jazz musicians. Gorgeous scenery as well, and easy to walk off to many restaurants and bars.

    Beautiful place on the map of Helsinki. A lot of good cafeterias, restaurants and bars. Nice area just for a walk. Sometimes, concerts and live music players. Has potentency during the day and night. A lot of attractions near of Esplanadi makes this place a good meeting point and starting place for doing around. I can recommend as your duty to see during trip to Helsinki.

    Nice green space with benches, flowers and some cafes. Good escape from the buildings. Good place to hang out.

    Narrow slice of well kept park, edged by restaurants, shops & the famous Kappeli Restaurant, frequented by Jean Sibelius & other important historical Finnish figures. Music played during the summer months.

    Beautiful park in the middle of Helsinki with stalls and a great restaurant and lots of places to visit nearby. Can be a bit icy in the winter, so be careful!

    It's incredible. Beautiful trees, tons of benches and people always streaming through. I saw the birds changing of the guard on top of the statue's head.

    It was the best park for the general public in central Helsinki. I visited it on Vappu day, which was the 1st of May. People were wearing captain hats and bright coloured trousers with lots of brand-names or well-known labels patches sewn on them. The event was spectacular.

    What a fantastic experience, I was glad thinking this may be a bit touristy... I could be more wrong: attentive service, meals arrived at a good interval all in a very nice setting. The food was wonderful, the beef liver was out of this world.!

    This park is amazing. So tranquil and picturesque in winter. Just think about some Christmas songs when you walk in this park. The air was crisps and the scenic landscape was captivating.

    A walk through a city center park between the dockside marketplace stores, Swedish Theatre by Stockmanns. Short and sweet, lined by expensive stores, it has the elegance of wealth in the 1800's, beautiful in the darkness and twinkling lights

    A small linked park running parallel to one of the main shopping streets in Helsinki. While you'd expect to see a park as a green open space, we were mega excited to see it completely white, covered in snow,cand even more excited that it was still decorated for Christmas.

    My favorite park in Heksinki. It's most beautiful during summertime. Popular with strollers, joggers, and picknickers, it's quieter during cold winter months. Flanked on both side by high-end boutiques, restaurants, and business offices, the neighborhood surrounding it is like a mini "Champ Elysées". A must visit for tourists.

    Nice small park with plenty of shops and restaurants close by to enjoy. There were a few ice-cream vendors in the park when we went and some live music.

    Nice Park joining the city center to the harbour and central market of Helsinki

  • 4/5 Suvi A. 10 months ago on Google
    Esplanadin puisto kauniine kukkaistutuksineen ja myyjineen/katutaiteilijoineen on näkemisen arvoinen. Puiston penkit täyttyivät, ainakin perjantai-iltana, nopeasti. Paikka on todella suosittu ajanvietepaikkana.

    A place where everyone in Helsinki chills. Full of stands with ice cream and bubble tea, this is a nice spot to spend your afternoon. I liked how many trees the place has. I was trying to search for toilet, but didn't succeed with that. This might be troublesome, especially if someone wants to sit at the grass and spend hours outside.

  • 5/5 Mitchell E. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely park. Good view in all direction. There are some restaurants on the park also. Where you can sit and unwind.

    This is a good place to see Finnish culture in a tiny place of course in my opinion! Finn's know how to enjoy their life with smallest things and opportunities. People from all walk of life get together here for a chat, picnic, a glass of champagne, a date, practicing dance or dance out of a sudden, street art or music or just sitting alone and flying ✈️ in their dream!

    A lovely park in the very center of Helsinki. There are several statues and other decorations as well as cafés and restaurants there, and you can sit on one of the many benches to enjoy the sunshine. The flowers make this esplanade particularly beautiful in spring and summer.

    Esplanadi Park (or simply Espa) is an urban park in downtown Helsinki that is surrounded by the grand Esplanadi boulevard. It was build by architecture Carl Ludwig in 1826. Cafes, bistros, and upmarket boutiques dot the boulevard. The park is not as big as some of the other parks in Helsinki but it’s a great place to relax, have a couple of drinks, or just watch the world go by. When the weather is nice there are usually some live music events in the park.

    Beautiful area I'm Helsinki. We visited during the Midsummer Eve holiday. I loved shopping in the open market. It is a beautiful area. Definitely check it out!

  • 5/5 Gabriel R. 2 years ago on Google
    Small Park, but very vivid - a lot of things and persons to see. Perfectly placed in the city centre near the market and enjoyable with nice ice cream from one of the Ice cream kiosks!

    Everything went nicely for our lunch, again. Food, drinks, atmosphere, service all great. We could play piano after the lunch. Note: I felt sorry they did not have Porto Wine neither Madeira Wine. I will return.

    I went in for the New Years Fireworks at the Senate Square . Spent some time at Esplanadi..It was beautifully well lit and busy.. Finding a parking spot was a challenge however figured it out eventually..
