Discover a hidden, uniquely Finnish Helsinki. At Helwalk, we want to show you a different part of Helsinki, a part you wouldn’t otherwise see!

Join us to explore hidden secrets, local wonders, exciting establishments, and more off the beaten path. Discover the true essence of Finnish Helsinki and learn about its origins and driving forces. From Swedish royalty to Russian imperialism, through war, assassinations, political turmoil, and rebellion, Finnish national identity endures. Through revolution against an Empire, the invasion of the Soviet Union, and a flirt with dictatorship, modern Finland emerges as a unique social democracy in the modern world. The tour will have a focus on Finnish national identity and how the modern political landscape and values were shaped by a history of war, revolution, and social responsibility.

Filled with a history of art, design, ingenuity, and intrigue, the Finnish capital has so much to see and learn that it is easy to miss. Let us show you! Hear the story of how Finnish national identity is formed and shaped, and how this builds the social democratic republic of modern Finland.

This tour starts in front of the Equestrian statue of Marshal Mannerheim, located next to the Kiasma museum of modern art. The tour will end directly at Ruoholahti Metro station, only one stop from Kamppi and the city centre or a short 10 - 15 minute walk.
