If you happen to be in Töölö, in the vicinity of the Olympic Stadium, and feel like relaxing in "designish" atmosphere, check out Korjaamo culture factory. It is an old building that used to be the tram bodyshop.
Korjaamo has two different galleries with various works of modern art or design and a very nice cafe that serves also as a wine bar and a restaurant for lunch. The former courtyard has been redesigned to work as a free picnic area with built-in "beach" and outside picnic lounge.
The clientele and the whole atmosphere is very design oriented, maybe thanks to the fact that the same building has related business under the same roof.
Currently, they have two exhibitions in the galleries (until early August), and from June 10th until June 12th a flea market for design items.
There's really nothing much shopping to be done here, but enjoying the great salads and wines out on the terrace, checking out the exhibitions and enjoying to sit there with your alikes...
Korjaamo is located in Töölö, right behind the Helsinki Tram Museum. For more details, please check out
