The Sinebrychoff Park (Finnish: Sinebrychoffin puisto, Swedish: Sinebrychoffsparken), colloquially referred to as the "Koff Park", is a park in Punavuori, Helsinki, Finland, near Hietalahti. The park was named after the Sinebrychoff brewery, which had its premises next to the park from 1819 to 1992 and to whose lands the park used to belong, and the Sinebrychoff family that owned both. In addition to the Old Church Park and Kaivopuisto, the park is among the most popular parks in Helsinki. At the edge of the park, along Bulevardi, is the former Sinebrychoff residence built in the 1840s, which currently houses the Sinebrychoff Art Museum. There is a gate from Bulevardi to the park on both sides of it. On the cliff south of the park there is an old octagonal brick tower. There is also a stairway to the cliff from the end of Iso Roobertinkatu. The Mallaskatu street runs underneath the park in a tunnel, which along with the Uudenmaankatu street starting from there forms a high-traffic driveway from Länsiväylä to central Helsinki.

The Eurovision Song Contest 2007 was the 52nd edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It took place in Helsinki, Finland, following the country's victory at the 2006 contest with the song "Hard Rock Hallelujah" by Lordi. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Yleisradio (Yle), the contest was held at the Hartwall Areena, and consisted of a semi-final on 10 May, and a final on 12 May 2007. The two live shows were presented by Finnish television presenter Jaana Pelkonen and musician and TV-host Mikko Leppilampi. In addition, Krisse Salminen acted as guest host in the green room, and reported from the crowds at the Senate Square. Forty-two countries participated in the contest - three more than the previous record of thirty-nine, that took part in 2005. The EBU decided to put aside its limit of 40 countries, which would have meant excluding some countries using a ranking order scheme. The Czech Republic and Georgia made their first participation this year, with Montenegro and Serbia taking part as independent nations for the first time. Austria and Hungary both returned, after their absence from the previous edition. Meanwhile, Monaco decided not to participate, despite initially confirming participation. Monaco has not competed in Eurovision Song Contest ever since. The winner was Serbia with the song "Molitva", performed by Marija Šerifović and written by Vladimir Graić and Saša Milošević Mare. This was Serbia's first victory in the contest, coincidentally the first year it competed as an independent nation. It was also the first winning song entirely performed in a country's native language since Israel's "Diva" in 1998. Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and Bulgaria rounded out the top five. Further down the table, Belarus achieved their best placing to date, finishing sixth. Meanwhile, Ireland achieved its worst placing in the contest, finishing twenty-fourth (last place). Of the "Big Four" countries, Germany placed the highest, finishing nineteenth.

The Kingdom of Finland (Finnish: Suomen kuningaskunta; Swedish: Konungariket Finland) was a failed attempt to establish a monarchy in Finland in the aftermath of the Finnish Declaration of Independence from Russia in December 1917 and the Finnish Civil War from January–May 1918. The victorious Whites in the Parliament of Finland began the process of turning Finland into a kingdom and creating a monarchy. Although the country was legally a kingdom for over a year, that was headed by a regent; the king-elect never reigned nor came to Finland following Germany's defeat in World War I, and republican victories in subsequent elections resulted in the country becoming a republic. During the Finnish Civil War of 1918, Finnish Reds on friendly terms with Soviet Russia fought Finnish Whites who allied with the German Empire. Direct aid from the German Baltic Sea Division aided the Whites who won the war. The provisional government established after the Grand Duchy of Finland's declaration of independence leaned heavily toward the Finnish right and included a number of monarchists. The parliament drew up plans to create a Finnish monarchy on the legal theory that the Swedish Constitution of 1772 was still in effect, but there had been an extended interregnum with no monarch on the throne. Prince Frederick Charles of Hesse was elected to the throne of Finland on 9 October 1918 by the Finnish parliament, but he never took the position nor traveled to Finland. Soon after the election, Finnish leaders as well as the population belatedly came to understand the grave situation their German allies were in, and the wisdom of electing a German prince their new leader as Germany was about to lose World War I was called into question. Germany itself became a republic and deposed Kaiser Wilhelm II, and signed an armistice with the Allies in November. The victorious Western powers informed the Finnish government that the independence of Finland would only be recognized if it abandoned its alliance with Germany. As a result, in December 1918 Frederick Charles renounced the throne and the Baltic Sea Division withdrew from Finland. In the March 1919 election, with the Finnish left and socialists able to vote, republicans won a crushing victory. Finland's status as a republic was confirmed in the Finnish Constitution of 1919.

Fredrikinkatu (Swedish: Fredriksgatan, Helsinki slang: Freda) is a street in Helsinki, Finland that starts from Viiskulma in the district of Punavuori and continues north by the western side of Kamppi Center until it reaches Lutherinkatu and the Temppeliaukio Church in Etu-Töölö.

The Hietalahti market hall is an old market hall located near the Hietalahdentori market square in Helsinki, Finland, hosting several restaurants and cafés. The market hall acts as concentration for restaurants and cafés, offering Japanese, Portuguese, Italian, French and Middle Eastern cuisine both at lunchtime and in the evening. Although the building designed by architect Selim A. Lindqvist in 1903 was believed to originally have served as a Russian cavalry barracks, it has been a market hall since the beginning. Of the market halls in the city centre, it was known for its grocery offerings for a long time, but as the Hietalahdentori market square next to it started gaining publicity about illegal trade of alcoholic beverages and tobacco by foreign tourists, this had a negative effect on the market hall's activity. At the turn of the millennium, traditional market sales at the market hall ceased, the hall was renovated and its interior was restored. In December 2001 the hall opened as an ecological market hall, selling mostly organic products. This business idea did not pay off, so in late 2003 Kauko Korpela, founding member of the Finnish Association for Art Merchants and the Finnish Art and Antiquities Merchant Association STAY, rented the central hall building of the market hall from the city of Helsinki. Since 1 December 2003 the hall, known as the Hietalahti antiquities and arts hall, concentrated on sales of antiquities and collectables.In autumn 2012 the hall was converted back into a grocery market hall. The building returned to its original function as a market hall on 11 February 2013. At this time, about twenty merchants moved to the market hall from the Helsinki old market hall on Eteläranta as it underwent reparations for over a year. Since 2013 the Hietalahti market hall has profiled itself most prominently as a concentration for restaurants and cafés.

Salve is a restaurant in Helsinki, Finland founded in 1897,: 7  which was originally a famous pub among sailors. After the housing cooperative lending the restaurant's premises discontinued its contract in autumn 2016 the restaurant moved to new premises about a hundred metres away on the other side of the street crossing at Hietalahdenranta 5 C. Salve's first known restaurateurs were Emil and Elin Stenberg.: 24  When the high stone building designed by Kaj Eräjuuri's father Eriksson was completed, Salve moved to it.: 26 Salve's location originally hosted a wooden kiosk in the late 19th century, selling food and tobacco to sailors.: 11  The house which hosted Salve for a long time was built in 1927.: 23  The restaurant is currently owned by HOK-Elanto. Its customers include artists, advertisers, journalists, tourists and workmen.: 7 Salve's classic dish is fried Baltic herring,: 7  selling about 60 portions per day. This makes 1800 portions, about 600 kilograms of fish per month. Previously the herrings were gutted by hand in the restaurant kitchen, but nowadays the restaurant gets them already gutted, likewise it also gets its potatoes already peeled. The reason for this is increased demand because of more customers and the small size of the kitchen, which does not have enough space for gutting herrings and peeling potatoes. Other popular dishes include Wiener schnitzel and steak tartare. The restaurant decor includes paintings depicting sailing and ships, miniature ships, lifebuoys, anchors and other items relating to sailing. This decor is reminiscent of Salve's past as a pub for sailors. Salve was originally called a café, selling food and coffee. After prohibition in Finland ended Salve received B-class serving rights (beer, cider and wine but no spirits).: 26
