Helsinki

Thanks to everyone for some great info on Helsinki. I'm a 30-something in good shape and only rarely use paid services. I did go to Mikado which was fun just for the spectacle and to feel like a piece of meat made of euros. Disclaimer for you Mikado-fans: don't worry I didn't waste any girls' marketing time by taking up their time when they could've been meeting other guys. I respect them and their profession.

To find civilian girls here's what I reccommend. I agree with the previous advice found here. Of course it's hit or miss but if you've got a decent personality and looks, it should be hit. Your mileage may vary and all that.

Thursday nights: this was my first night so it was mainly for recon. I hit 5 or 6 clubs. Most importantly I found a talkative bouncer and he gave me the scoop on where to pick up chicks for guys my age. I used his advice plus what I read here for the following nights. (funny story: I played lost tourist at 5am (post-clubbing) and walked home with a really sweet 25yo Finnish blonde... nice hug at the end).

Friday nights: Teaterri or Kaivohuone or both (15 min walk or taxi it). I scoped out Teaterri at 23:00 and it was just getting started. I was going to stay but I thought that maybe I'd ping-pong a bit between T and K, so I went to K. K turned out to be pretty good so I stayed there (21 minimum age on Friday nights). Had a lot of fun hanging out and dancing with 3 25yo Finnish chicks. Met them at the blackjack table and recruited them to help me play. We danced for a 2 hours and had a great time. Got alot of good recon on K which helped get me the Saturday night success. Basically, since K is a bigger club, you want to know where to circulate. One place to check up on is the upstairs VIP room. There's a bar up there and they play only Finnish music. Lots of drunk Finns, but also good scoping.

Saturday nights: definitely Kaivohuone. Mobbed yet still good. Minimum age is 24 which helps us older guys. Get there around 23:00. Clearly some women there to get laid. Ratio seemed tilted to there being more girls than guys. Found a really cute 24yo Finnish girl who was slightly drunk. We danced alot and shall we say the rest was history (all 5 heavenly hours). Cost me 24EUR (cover, drinks, and taxi to her place). Actually only 16 EUR since I won 8EUR at blackjack. A lucky night in many ways!

Sunday nights: Helsinki Club or Teaterri or both (8 min walk) Teaterri was kinda dead, but still worth a scope or two. Helsinki Club was rockin. More on the young side, but I came with the 2 Russian girls I met at Teaterri and hung out with them. Went back to their apartment and hung out awhile. No action, but high GFE and enjoyable.

Pickup lines, fyi. In case some don't know, asking a girl to dance doesn't work well here (and in other European countries). Many just always say no even if they might like you. You just need to strike up a conversation. A simple ice-breaker is "Do you speak English?" Or "I need some luck in blackjack..."

Just to clarify a couple of points on Snixman's report:

1) If you go to Kaivohuone during the autumn and winter you will find it rather cold and empty, since it is closed for the winter. Will reopen for the summer again in about early May.

2) typo: should be "Teatteri", not Teaterri.

Glad he had a good time!

Despite the law, does anybody know if there's still some street action in Helsinki? Or some some bars in Kallio where I can pick up a girl?

I'll be in town Jan 3rd, so if anybody wants to join me seeking for nice girls and having a couple of drinks, PM me.

Hi fellow punters and mongers,

I'll be staying in Helsinki for a few days by mid-March.

How's the scene now? I remember going to the Mikado for taking my pick, but that was two years ago, and I have read mixed reviews of the Helsinki scene lately.

Apparently the authorities have made it more difficult for Eastern beauties to come to Finland and entertain us...

Any tips welcome.

Frenchie,
the scene has not essentially changed. The same clubs (Mikado Alcatratz Mermaid) are still good hunting grounds. Also, the supply on [url]www.sihteeriopisto.net[/url] is wider than ever.

Hi Elton,

Thanks for your reply on the forum.

I am also contacting girls on the seksitreffit website. As it is in Finnish, it seems tricky, but I'll manage to enjoy myself in Helsinki.

Any more precise info is welcome, though.

Hi fellow mongers!

I'll be this weekend in Helsinki.

Would any of you care to join me for a drink and exchange a few tips on the local beauties, and a few stories on our global experiences?

Please send me a pm if interested.

No big deal at Helsinki !

Went to Mikado, picked up a cute, sexy Russian chick who turned out to be so bossy when at the hotel (don't touch the condom!, don't touch me!, and so on...)I didn't even come and sent her away (so much for a few dozen euros.).

Next night, went to the Storyville Pub (Museokatu) to enjoy jazz music and unexpectedly picked up a not so young, not so cute Finnish lady who turned out to be nice, cuddly and ready for what I had on my mind, for fewer euros than the previous night... Didn't ask her for her phone number.

But nothing to write home about! I wouldn't, anyway.

Better deal in Tallinn!

I'll be in town for three nights in July. Please allow me to ask a few questions.

1) Are girls available at Mikado or Alcatraz as early as 9-10PM?

2) I'm choosing from 1 of three hotels: Rad Seaside in Ruoholahti, Rad. SAS Royal on Runeberginkatu, or Rad SAS Plaza next to the Grand Casino Helsinki. Can you recommend one for walking location near tourist sites. Are these hotels girl friendly?

Thanks for any info about hotels, girls, or touring. I'll post a report to share my thoughts about Helsinki.

jimbehr2000,

1) Yes, I think so - although I've never been there that early so I'm not sure. I think at least Alcatraz opens at 20.00 and the girls start to arrive soon after.

2) Of the 3 hotels mentioned, Seaside is the only one that is a bit further away - and even that is only about a kilometer or so. Distance from Royal to Alcatraz is about 3 blocks and to Mikado about 4 blocks - for the Plaza, about the same distances in reverse order. I do not know about girl friendliness, they are all high quality hotels aimed at businessmen so at least a degree of discretion will be required.

One of the Radisson Hotels is also my usual choice in Helsinki. My favorite is the Plaza. It´s the newest and has the best location close to the railway station. Never had a problem with bringing guests at night, no matter if it´s a single girl or a crowd of up to four people to continue a disco-party after closing-time at my room.

Let me add that Helsinki is an extremely good city for picking up freebies. One nice nighclub for that purpose is Manala Bar (Botta). Details at [url]http://www.botta.fi[/url] . Friday night usually has a band playing danceable but not always good music. The concerts stop as far as I remember for the summer time. Another old–time goodie is Kaarle XII: [url]http://www.kaarle.com[/url] . The best place for a Thursday night.

Looks like 2 of the Radissons are in the heart of the action. With only a few nights in town, I'll probably only have time to stick to the sure things (Alcatraz, Mikado, etc.).

I'm not real sure what to expect in Helsinki. There appears to be a limited number of venues but I'm hoping for the best. Having the sun go down at 10:00PM-11:00PM should be interesting too.

Thanks for the responses to my questions.

The Holiday Inn by the station (a 5 minutes' walk from Mikado and Alcatraz) is my favourite place in Helsinki. No problem to come in accompanied by a lady for a few moments.

Guys I forgot my most important question. I read back through this forum and saw something about Thai girls. Are there any Thai incall places here? The search function is making me go back through all the posts.

jimbehr2000,

it does not really work out like that. An incall place would be considered brothel -> which would be pimping -> which would mean severe prison sentences to everyone involved.

there are of course thai massage parlors, but the services generally do NOT include FS - and anyway the prices for extras are high.
