Whether you’re a fan of true crime, history, or simply enjoy seeing a city from a new perspective, this tour invites you to look beyond the surface and uncover the secrets that Helsinki still carries. Our walk starts in the Old Church Park, which is colloquially known as “The Plague Park”. Here we will set on a journey that takes us through Finnish history, everything seen through the lens of crime, mystery, and the people who shaped Helsinki’s most notorious stories. The tour is perfect for anyone who wants to see the main sights of Helsinki - The Oodi Library, Botanic Gardens, The Helsinki Cathedral and more - while learning about dark history! We will finish near the Market Square, where you can continue exploring the city and get the best recommendations for your stay.
On our route you will see both modern and historical sides of the city and learn how Helsinki grew from a small Swedish fishing town to a European capital city. Learn about Soviet spies in the heart of Helsinki, how tunnel exploration can end you up in the courtroom and which murder is thought to be the earliest true crime story in Finland! Some of the most mundane spots of the city will reveal their darkest secrets on this tour.
Come let us show you a side of Helsinki you haven't seen before!
