Sokos Department store, Helsinki — Local services in Helsinki sub-region

Sokos has not such a clear way finding indications. The departments don't feel like they are organised in a logical way. Therefore I find myself going the long route to find the things I actually need. This might be in their good interest to do so that you buy more but to me this is not a grocery store so I won't feel like buying stuff I didn't come for to the store. Though they always have the things I'm looking for, it is just the inside planning and architecture that make it hard to find certain places. Staff is friendly and super helpful.

At Helsinki airport my luggage didn’t arrive with my international connecting flight !! When I arrived in city center main railway station I had to shop for emergency clothes and supplies as I didn’t know when my luggage would arrive.

The staff was polite...
