Teurastamo, Former slaughterhouse turned dining hub in Hermanninmäki, Finland

The Teurastamo complex incorporates dining establishments, event spaces, and open areas within preserved industrial buildings from the early 20th century.

The Helsinki municipal slaughterhouse, designed by architect Bertel Liljequist, operated from 1933 until 1992 before undergoing transformation into a public venue.

The site hosts regular markets, festivals, and community gatherings, connecting local food producers with residents through various seasonal events.

Visitors can access free barbecue facilities in the courtyard and rent an eight-person sauna located in the Restaurant Palema building.

The complex houses specialized food producers, including a distillery, ice cream factory, coffee roastery, and bakery within its industrial architecture.

What to do in Helsinki: saunas, islands, urban culture

Helsinki offers a unique mix of Nordic traditions and modern urban spaces. The city features public saunas like Sompasauna by the sea, where entry is free thanks to volunteer work, as well as century-old market halls such as Hakaniemi, built in 1914. Surrounding islands like Sisä-Hattu allow visitors to view ancient rock carvings in preserved natural surroundings, while Kivinokka beach provides direct access to the sea from a wooded area. Downtown combines various architectural styles, from granite churches to wooden buildings like Kamppi Chapel, a quiet spot amid the city's activity. Art enthusiasts will find the graffiti wall at Suvilahti, a legal space for artistic expression, and those seeking less-known locations will discover themed bars like Trillby & Chadwick, decorated in the 1920s style. A few kilometers away, Liesjärvi National Park offers hiking trails through forests abundant in berries and mushrooms, while the abandoned villas of Kruunuvuori reflect a bygone era.
