Ep 1.
The station in the non-existing Naxin town is actually Pasila station in Helsinki. https://maps.app.goo.gl/ShgwHgfqF5N9q1nH7

The coffee shop: https://maps.app.goo.gl/fGFjW9aRkujhCMiTA


Ep.2 

Chinese restaurant Nanking, I used to eat there a lot ?: https://maps.app.goo.gl/jWHe739guwUrsk9M6

The billiard bar: https://maps.app.goo.gl/XAVXCqmNUrcj7Jjc6

Ep 3.

restaurant Domo, it's actually Japanese food, pretty good https://maps.app.goo.gl/bH4vwoYcNgkYjXa39

The apartment the guys live in is so not a student apartment, I can't, it's in the old town, huge, and it has expensive furniture... I bet the rent would be no less than 2500€ (if not 3000), and no one would rent a place out with all the furniture like that. Just couldn't help myself not comment on that ?

Billiard place: https://maps.app.goo.gl/wsRNfTjQgqCQxTPL8


Ep4.

The lecture hall is likely in Aalto University Töölö  https://maps.app.goo.gl/QEP1ZmhCFAeaQFNx7

The house where they live, this also gives an idea about the rent (even more than I assumed): https://asunnot.oikotie.fi/vuokra-asunnot/helsinki/19203386 

Ep 5.

The place where they eat fish https://maps.app.goo.gl/SwaUf4RXQyoQs62c8
The ice cream place is close by even in real life https://maps.app.goo.gl/vyWa9MYWuPcKfzDs5

Btw, the metro does not stop because of snow. It never happens. Trains can be late and trams are a pain in winter, and one time I did take a taxi not to be late for a doctor's appointment, but it cost me an arm and a leg for 10 min ride.

The train line to the airport is the heart on the poster. Cute.

The lecture hall seen in episode four is at the University of Helsinki, specifically at Metsätalo (transl. to "Forest Building"). As the name of the building suggests many of the lecture halls there have distinct features made of wood which makes them fairly easy to recognise. The one seen is the building's main lecture hall. Its address is Unioninkatu 40, Helsinki (also Fabianinkatu 39, as it has entrances on two sides of the building).

Ep 14, Pont Des Amours - the bridge where they placed the lock overseeing Annecy Lake.
