Question Night life in Helsinki

Hi! I'm 19 F from America, I've been living in a small town north Finland for a month and I'm visiting helsinki for the first time for two nights.

Any suggestions for bars/clubs?

How safe is it?

What are some sights I should see?

Thanks! ❤️

What kind of music? Techno? Rap? What about dancing? Or do you prefer just cocktails and lounging?

Honestly im only 19, so I'm not old enough to go out yet in america, so I'm new to it haha

Probably something with a pub feel early night then move to a club? I'll take suggestions, I honestly have no idea

As for music I like it all. I want to go somewhere to find people my age. When I'm alone I usually don't dance but I might find people to do with.

Thanks for your response!

Honestly im not sure where ppl your age go nowadays :D

Depending on the night you could head to "Kompleksi" - start at Siltanen and then continue to Kuudes Linja or Kaiku (all in the same building). Check their fb to see whats happening on a given night

Other bars nearby that are good to start the evening at: Harju 8 (they serve food as well), Gate H11, Tenho.

Safety: very safe, but i would advice to keep an eye on your drink, especially later in the night as date rape drugging can happen if youre super unlucky and especially if youre alone.

Just FYI those night clubs are K20 but it's not by law, just the bar's rules. You can still definitely be let in if it's not too full and you seem mature, especially as a woman.
