Helsinki Gay Bars

Like much of the Nordic region, Helsinki is a progressive, tolerant and safe city for the LGBTQ+ community. The capital of Finland has a warm heart, if not the weather to match, with a vibrant nightlife and culinary scene. There are a handful of gay venues, but most places are pretty mixed if you want to try something different.
