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.

"Excellent place to stay. It has almost everything including pressing iron and pressing table that were found useful for my ESOC suit. They got a well equiped gym, pool and sauna. I found the gym really useful. The staff were exceptional and highly professional and very helpful. All the receptionists were great. Monica was awesome."
