Discover the hidden gems of Helsinki on a guided walking tour. Explore the districts of Jätkäsaari, Ruoholahti, and Lapinlahti and learn about the history of Nokia and the Kaapelitehdas cable factory.
Begin your tour in Jätkäsaari, a district still under development. Take in views of the Clarion Hotel and Supercell headquarters. Visit the Verkkokauppa.com rooftop terrace for a panoramic view of Helsinki, complete with a MiG-21 Fighter Jet on display.
Continue to Saukonpaadenranta Park, a beautiful green space with sunbathing chairs and barbecue spots.
Next, head to Ruoholahti. From Crusellinsilta, admire the impressive office architecture, including buildings housing F-Secure and other companies. Learn about Nokia, which had its office here during its peak in the early 2000s, and visit the original cable factory, Kaapelitehdas, now one of the largest cultural centers in Europe.
See the spot where the Lepakko culture house once stood, a venue where Nirvana played before their breakthrough.
For the grand finale, visit the hidden gem of Helsinki, the Lapinlahti hospital area. Admire the unique architecture designed by Carl Ludvig Engel. Explore the park surrounding the old mental hospital, home to the oldest public sauna in the city, the Venetsia maintenance building, and the best view in town from the top of the Lapinlahti rocks.
