You want to enjoy lunch or just have a drink at one of Helsinki’s most beautiful terraces and overlook the city at the same time? Then you should go to Loiste on top of Sokos warehouse at Mannerheimintie. They just opened their terrace again for this season. Here you have one of the best views of Helsinki. While sunbathing and sipping from your sparkling wine glass you can watch people on the streets rushing from Kamppi to the tram, see the cars, busses and taxis making their way through Mannerheimintie or see the dome of Tuomiokirkko rise into the sky over the city. Prices here are quite high but it’s definitely one of the places you should visit on a sunny day.

Great Terrace when the sun is shinning. …good view over the Kamppi shopping center. One of the places in town with the most horrible service. Do not go for lunch, it is really slow!

The location is great, quite in the centre and in the 10th floor! The interior is worth seeing. The style is from some time back — maybe the fifties — so it is very unique. Also the food is good!
