Today we visited Rhododendron Park. Last year we were too late for blossom. This year timing was right. Rhododendron blooming is at its best in early June.

The park’s official name is Alppiruusupuisto, Rhododendron Park, It is also known as Rodopuisto or Rhodopuisto. It is an eight-hectare area, which was originally bog.

It functions simultaneously as a park open to the public and as the University of Helsinki’s plant breeding experimental site − a solution unique in the world. The oldest rhododendrons have been planted in 1975, when the experimental site for the University of Helsinki’s plant breeding programme was developed in the area.

Top Etelä-Haaga Hotel Reviews

Clarion Hotel Mestari

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable hotel, in a great location and with excellent services."

Hobo Helsinki

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the Hobo Helsinki to visit the Christmas Markets in Senate Square. This was the perfect location as it is just a few minutes walk away. We took the tram from the port where we came in and it couldn’t have been easier. The hotel is decorated very well, feels welcoming and comfortable, was very clean, the room was fantastic, breakfast was one of the best we’ve had at a hotel, and the front desk attendant who checked us in was incredibly kind and helpful! Highly recommend! "

Comfort Hotel Helsinki Airport

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay at this Comfort Inn. The location is convenient, the rooms are clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful — everything you’d hope for in a comfortable stay. One thing to note: they do charge an additional fee for early check-in, so keep that in mind if you plan to arrive before standard hours. Aside from that, everything was smooth and enjoyable. I’d definitely stay here again!"
