What you can expect
Join Helwalk on an exciting tour that takes you through the city, exploring Finnish design and architecture while learning about the industries that have built the country. Learn about the connections between Finnish and Japanese design and culture, discover the unique architecture and architects that make Helsinki what it is, as well as Finnish designers, illustrators, children's authors, and more. Learn about Russian, Swedish, and German influence on the city and how both local and foreign culture shaped its design and planning, not just physically but socially.
Finnish design and industry are among the most notable and internationally significant exports from Finland to the world. It touches everything, from architecture to Star Wars, from shipbuilding to Supercell. The Helsinki Design District houses some of the most unique Finnish businesses and buildings, and the Helsinki harbour is part of a long history of shipbuilding, smuggling, prohibition, and more.
This tour takes you through the Punavuori area and through the Design district, ending near exciting shopping options, art galleries, restaurants, and bars. Let us show you!
