Overview

  • Discover Helsinki with a local guide and PhD researcher in Sociology on a 3-hour small-group walking tour. Explore the city's architecture, history, culture, and society while discovering both well-known landmarks and lesser-known places.

    This is more than a tour of buildings from the outside. Where possible, you will also step inside selected buildings to see their interiors and learn more about their architecture and history. Along the way, discover how Helsinki's buildings and streets reflect Finnish history, culture, and everyday life.

    The small-group format makes the experience more personal and relaxed, with more opportunities to ask questions and discuss the places you visit. Whether you are interested in architecture, history, culture, or Finnish society, this tour offers a different way to get to know Helsinki and understand the city beyond its most familiar sights.
