Helsinki Through Its Facades: From Classicism to Contemporary Architecture

Helsinki Tourist Information

Discover Helsinki through its architecture on the guided tour “Helsinki Through Its Facades: From Classicism to Contemporary Design.” This immersive walk reveals how the city has evolved through its buildings, from the elegant neoclassicism of Senate Square and the expressive National Romanticism of Pohjola to the modernist legacy of Alvar Aalto and bold architectural projects of the 21st century. Along the way, you’ll uncover the stories behind iconic facades, innovative engineering solutions, and the ways architecture reflects Helsinki’s culture, values, and everyday life.
The tour starts at Senate Square, continues along Aleksanterinkatu, and finishes at the contemporary Think Corner — a symbol of Helsinki’s openness, creativity, and forward-looking spirit.
