Message from Teppo Haapoja

Vanhakaupunki is a neighborhood in Helsinki, Finland, known for being the original location where the city was founded back in 1550. The name literally means "old town" in Finnish, and it's got some cool historical vibes going on. Nowadays, it's a quaint area with about 230 residents and 850 jobs, nestled by the Vanhankaupunginlahti bay. So, if you're into old-school charm mixed with modern-day living, Vanhakaupunki might just be your jam!
