  • When I heard this comparison ( Chicago of Finland ), knew right away that this is a city worth having a closer look.
    Lahti is situated about 100km away from Helsinki. It is known for its relatively rough history, sports and nowadays being one of the greenest and environmental friendly cities in Europe.
    Join me on a day trip to Lahti - Chicago of Finland!

    It’s always enjoyable to watch your videos and learn about new places. I stay in Estonia every year but for some reason I have not been to Finland yet!! This summer it will happen. 😊 Thanks Ruudy for your videos. Rob 🇨🇦

    Outstanding work, thank you Ruudy! Excellent content with a lot of information. In my youth I walked the streets of Lahti in the night during the weekends and not once did anything scary come my way. Nowadays I hear that there some drug dealers though, so the situation might have gotten a bit worse than in my time there.

    Yes often times I have the ticket open on my phone and they just walk past me without even looking at it xD. Lahti I think these days has mostly a good reputation... except the fans of the hockey team Pelicans.

      Hehe, yes. I have noticed that some really don’t care to much, but some check tickets from top to bottom. For sure, but as I understand the kind of still sticks with the city. Probably its more like a joke these days 😂

    The drink you were talking about, is it soda or beer?

    • @theruudy
      @theruudy  Рік тому +2

      It’s long drink. Gin mixed with soda ( originally with grapefruit). These days they have many flavors 😊

    That K-Market was the Lahti bus station from 1930's, to 2016. It's a cute spot for a store. I enjoyed going there, when I lived in Lahti.
    About the crime, Lahti is base of operations for the biggest criminal gang in Finland, United Brotherhood and that's why it's also meth central. These "hardened criminals" are not a threat to common people on the street. They usually just hurt other criminals. The tweakers never bothered me either. They just hang around.

      Roger that. Didn’t thought it dates back to 1930s. Stunning building!
      And also thank you for explaining about the gangs and crime situation. Kiitos 😊

      It was finished just before Winter War in 1939.

      Fun fact: Loviisa bus station is the exactly same design than Lahti bus station was, just alot smaller.

    I am not from Finland and never heard of Lahti before few days ago. I am on this video because someone who lived in Lahti (not a Finn) came across me and poisoned my mind how terrible life in Lahti is, and that person left Finland for good (she was originally from Estonia). I have been to Helsinki few times, did not see anything terrible about Finland, that person completely shocked me. Now I see she was delusional.
