What you can expect

Explore Helsinki's different architectural styles, from Neoclassicism and Gothic Revival to Art Nouveau, Nordic Classicism, Functionalism, Modernism, and contemporary architecture. See buildings by Engel, Saarinen, Sonck, Aalto, and many others.

Along the way, learn not only about the buildings but also about the history and society behind them. We will look at how Helsinki's architecture reflects Finnish history, culture, identity, and social change.

Walk through the streets of the 2012 World Design Capital and UNESCO City of Design, and learn how Helsinki developed into the city it is today.

The tour takes place in a small group, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and discuss the buildings and topics that interest you. If you have a particular architectural period, style, or building you would like to explore, you can let the activity provider know in advance.
