I'm going to Helsinki alone in January. I've heard a lot from people who think that Finnish sauna is great. Is it something I should do on a solo trip?
Sure, why not?

What time period? I'm heading there mid January myself.
I am an American who has lived in HKI for three years. Definitely take a sauna. Do go drinking in Kallio, but don't expect locals to approach you (unless attractive + female). Finns are friendly when approached, but are shy at first. Make some friends and drink some beer. Sorry you have to be there in January :(

If you have time take a plane up north, rent some gear and camp out. Atleast take a tunturi skii or a husky/motorsledge ride if you dont find it too expensive.
Visit suomenlinna!
Too bad you're visiting now... It's really pretty during summer :(
