These boat-shaped pastries are made using traditional methods and carefully selected flour from a recipe that dates back more than 200 years, and are baked in an oven that dating back to 1781 which follows the original Roman model, giving them a totally unique flavour.

If there is any one thing that is quintessentially Finnish, it would have to be the sauna. For that reason, we recommend you pay one a visit if you should ever find yourself in Finland. Yrjönkadun Uimahallissa can be found in a beautiful art déco building of both historic and architectural value whose exterior has remained unchanged for decades but whose interior was fully renovated in 1997.
