Nostalgic, built in the 50s, the swimming stadium is a great (and cheap) place to spend a sunny happy summer day. There's a big 100m pool, a a 10m jumping tower with a smaller deep pool, a bigger childrens' pool and a small baby pool, and a few water slides (separate cost) as well.

This stadium was built for Helsinki Olympics held in 1952, and it is still in very good condition. During summertime the best place to go swimming, if you actually want to swim and not just sunbathe. More

This a outdoor swimming pool with heated water open on summer time. You can go there as early as 6.30 on the morning from Mondays to Saturdays. On Sudays they open at 9 am. What I like there is the fact that you pay only few euros (3,6 euros in 2011) and you get to experience real Finnish sauna and... More
