If you will stay in Helsinki, visit “urban grandmother’s home”, Famu (Restaurant & Bar @ Scandic Park Hotel) in Töölö district. Famu is a Finnish nickname for grandmother that comes from the Swedish word farmer. Töölö district is known for its artists, Salmiakkikioski and greenness. The area has long been thought of as a Swedish speaking area of Helsinki and therefore the name of the restaurant is a tribute to this fact.

ヘルシンキへいらっしゃる際は、おばあちゃんのお家, Famuへ。このレストラン&バーがあるTöölö地区は、スウェーデン語を話す人々が長年住んでいるエリアで、芸術家たち、Salmiakkikioski(キャンデーや飲み物などを売るキオスク!?)、そして緑が多いところです。
