It is our aim to show the reader what makes a place distinctive, to shed light on obscure locations as well as revisiting well-known ones with a fresh perspective. We research each city the old-fashioned way: asking friends, acquaintances, cab drivers and concierges for their tips and then walking, tasting, sipping, and peering into doorways and down alleys. We turn that research into a compact guide with enough suggestions to keep you entertained, with a list of shops, bars, restaurants, cafés, galleries, museums and parks, each one carefully described.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor: Herb Lester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustrator: Martin Azambuja\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper Fold-Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasurements: 5.8\" Height x 4\" Width (A3 unfolded, A6 folded)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Touch of Finland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53793262108986,"sku":"108503","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0643\/4389\/files\/DestinationHelsinki_1.png?v=1785006773","url":"https:\/\/www.touchoffinland.com\/en-ca\/products\/destination-helsinki-a-guide-to-the-usual-and-unusual","provider":"Touch of Finland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
