The Arabia Factory Shop is one of my favorite shopping venues in Helsinki. It offers really good deals on porcelain and glassware by Arabia and iittala. It also houses a small museum that is worth visiting. Easily reachable by tram 6 or 8. Newly extended parking facilities. More

Arabia tools are one of the unique home utility tools that you find in almost every Finnish home. It is expensive. Visiting the factory give one a rare opportunity to see the wonderful designs on display and the work that goes on in there. A guided tour is recommended if available. More

Unless you buy the items on sale, the regular items are surprisingly more expensive than those at the stores in Helsinki e.g. Sokos and Stockmann.

Been here several times, I live in Helsinki. Big wonder how this got to be the 2nd most popular tourist attraction for Helsinki... More
