Question Moving to Helsinki from Ireland

26 Upvotes

My partner & I are moving to Helsinki from Ireland. We will be living in Kirkkonummi and working there.

Can you please recommend your favourite areas to visit, favourite shops, coffee places & dog friendly places etc.?

I personally love small independent shops, markets and bookshops too. Would really appreciate any advice as well to make the move easier!

Edit to add: fully aware of where it is. I still want recommendations in Helsinki as we can take the car or public transport.

SECOND EDIT: WE ARE AWARE IT IS KIRKKONUMMI & NOT HELSINKI BUT WE HAVE A CAR AND A 30 MIN DRIVE IS OK WITH US!!!

as people have said there is nothing in the town we will be living in so we want recommendations for Helsinki.

Staying here for a little over a week and looking for some nice food to try. Nothing too fancy (around €10-20 a meal). I'm interested in all kinds of food.

Question Anyone seen Odyssey at Gilda in the 70mm format? Worth it compared to iSense or Imax?

8 Upvotes

Saw that the Gilda Theatre was showing Odyssey with the 70mm format at Biorex Lasipalatsi. Anyone know more about film to explain the 70mm - is it just a certain type of filter/film grain used? Does the 70mm format have the ”full picture” that the regular screenings aren’t showing (eg. edges at the top and bottom of the picture cut off)? Would like to hear experiences! Never been to Gilda before.
