Design, Architecture, arts, lifestyle and local legends.
Helsinki is divided into the historical and modern center. In the historical center we conduct the Dynamic Helsinki Free tour focusing on the history of Helsinki and Finland. This Modern Helsinki Walking Tour shows you the rest. The modern Helsinki Walking tour focuses on present and future of the development of our Northern smart city and every day of its people. Many less know sites are visited and you will gain impressive insight of Helsinki as a living city rather than a museum.
