    Tokoinranta

    Find a quiet spot on the grass at Tokoinranta park facing the water. The park is north-west of Hakaniemi, offering an open view of the bay. It is early July, so the light is already bright, but the atmosphere is still calm. Watch the sun rise toward the NW.

    Bear park

    End your morning with a short twelve-minute walk up to Bear park. Located on the hill next to Kallio church, this cozy park is one of Kallio's symbols. Sit near the bear statue to rest and take in the elevated view of the neighborhood you just walked through.
