This is the weirdest place I've been to in a while and I have been to some really f*cked up places…read morein my life (wink wink...San Francisco...ahem). You go through a tiny storefront that smells like Grannie's attic and amble back through a narrow room full of granny's old furniture before creaking down a staircase into an underground lair full of other peoples' old junk. However, there can be finds to be found and I dig the weird vibe. Not big on kid's things (kind of thankful for that), but a lot of vintage-y stuff for the creative at heart. I am not even a little creative, so I probably won't be frequenting the joint. Mom tip: Not stroller friendly, kid friendly, or even kid interesting. If you do want to pop in (and I strongly suggest you do - it's a weird little place), I'd hit it solo or with a kid attached to your person. I will add that the space is so big and there is so much stuff that even though I didn't find anything either time I went, I spent about an hour there. Happy Hunting!

Great swap meet. There is lots of variety and many booths. Everything I inquired about was…read morereasonably priced. It was unfortunate that the prices were not displayed. Most of the clothes looked almost new. The hours of operation are a bit confusing. I went there on Sunday from 11 to 13 and it was open. When I went on Saturday it was closed.

A great thrift store in the center of Helsinki, and an easy walk from the train station…read more They had a good selection of stuff, knick knacks and clothing alike - even a few pieces of furniture in the back. It was pretty cheap for Finland. Still a lot more expensive than in the states, or in some other european countries, but it's Helsinki! Everything's expensive. Still, I found a nice vintage bathing suit for 12 euros, and a summer skirt for 7. That's about 1/10th of what things cost in the department stores, so I'd call it a wonderful bargain, and a fun place to poke around in the afternoon.
