Mindful meoweler tips

Experience a Finnish Sauna

Saunas are an important part of Finnish culture. Cats should know that it's customary to not wear clothes in the sauna, and it's considered polite to sit on a towel instead of directly on the bench.

Visit the WeeGee Exhibition Centre

The WeeGee Exhibition Centre is a cultural hub in Espoo, with exhibitions on art, history, and science. Cats should take note that the building used to be a printing house!

Try some Finnish food

Cats should try some traditional Finnish dishes like salmon soup, meatballs with lingonberry jam, and Karelian pies made with rye crust and filled with rice porridge.
