Popular and idyllic walking route circles the small bay around which the city's most iconic buildings, Finlandia Hall and Oodi Library are situated. The hill on the opposite side shelters in green last of the remaining wooden Art Nouveau villas with their cafeterias at Linnunlaulu, Bird Song. Canadian geese have grown to an aggressive nuisance but even they leave the regal white swans to care for their offspring. Roving boats and supping boards can be rented in summer.

I went for a lovely afternoon walk around the bay and spent some time watching the ducks on the edge of the melting ice. I also saw an area where people had set up bird feeders further around towards the Southern shoreline which was very busy with smaller birds having a snack.
It seemed like a popular area for joggers, dog walkers and families out enjoying some sunshine not far from the city center. Nearby is Finlandia hall (currently closed for refurbishment - March 2023), as well as the Finnish National Opera building as you head north. There are also some lovely wooden houses to look at as well.

The place to take a run or walk the dog, take the baby buggy out or do whatever you please. Each season show a different side. It's about 2.2 km around the bay. The old houses on the east side are very photogenic and the end of the day before sunset. :)

As a local, for me this is the go-to place to walk my dog. At any given time, there are many people walking or running along the bay, and there are also some cafés to pop in.

Töölö Bay is an ideal place for a relaxing and refreshing hike in Helsinki, as it is close to the city centre but still a calm and natural place. Starting your hike approximately behind the Central Railway station, you will pass some architecturally interesting buildings like Hakasalmen villa, Finlandiatalo and Finland national opera house located in Hesperian Park along the shores of Töölö Bay. Once you have passed the northern tip of the bay, the scenery gets a bit more rural with some beautiful old wooden houses set up in the forested slopes of the eastern side of the bay. After a while you are back in town (which you never really left anyway) when walking alongside the railway tracks and seeing the central railway station ahead of you. A perfect short urban hike even for not-so-sunny days!

On a sunny Sunday, I walked to find Finlandia---one of architect Alvar Aalto's famed designs. The gleaming white-marbled concert hall was indeed beautiful, but the surrounding park, bay, church and streetscape were a stunning setting. Around the parkway are the Finnish National Opera (great architecture), Music Hall, Klasma Modern Art Museum and more---not far from the Helsinki Railway Station. Helsinki should be proud of this great urban space---a beautiful retreat for recreation and relaxation. Make some time to walk around to see the best of Finnish design.

It's a great way to spend a couple of hours in the summer (and why not winter), walking around the bay. There are a couple of very nice cafés on the way, such as sinisen huvilan kahvila and ice cream kiosks. Also popular as a jogging route.

In the midst of the bustling city, a very pleasant walk, together with cyclists, joggers, dog walkers and the like. Some fine old buildings on the eastern side, museums on the west. Somewhat secluded from traffic.

Locates in the one of best neighborhoods of Helsinki and totally peaceful environment.

Go around once or more (its smaller than lake of The Central Park), drink coffee in terrance of old blue mansion (there are two cafeterias).

Music house, opera house, sinfonia house, new library, modern art museum and one media house and people's park are around this lake. LOTS of decent restaurants, cafeterias and bars in this area.

If you are lucky with the weather take a walk around the Töölönlahti. You will see Finlandia house and Opera as well. Töölönlahti is a very beautiful area. There are a nice Restaurant Töölönranta where you will get excellent sunday brunch to enjoy your day.
