There are at least two places worth visiting in Helsinki.

Kuivalainen , only open fri and sat 12-17 but a great place, rare models.
Tieto-Nikkari Wide offering, biggest brands.

Coming to Helsinki?

Yes, I'm going on a bussiness trip to Helsinki in a couple of weeks.
Thought I could use some of my spare time when I'm there to do some shopping.

Did we go to the Tieto-Nikkari shop Envar?? If so, Norseman, that was a very good shop indeed!! At any rate it had a little of everything. Cramped but a good selection!
