Tour description

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.

Highlights of the tour:

  • Oodi library and Citizen Square - Beautiful modern arquitecture
  • The Parliament - Let's see what is the protest about today?
  • Old Market Square - the Helsinki coastline and Archipelago, Vallisaari Biennial.
  • Kasarmitori - Ministry of Defence - Nato and Finnish military traditions.
  • Design Museum - Classics of the Finnish design
  • Iso-Roobertinkatu - The oasis of night life in Helsinki
  • The Plague Park - Beautiful and popular park with grim past
  • The place to go for naked swimming
  • Awards winner architectural masterpieces: Chapel of Silence, Amos Rex, Oodi


The tour starts in the Citizen Square, in front of the new central library of Helsinki called Oodi. It is a flagship of Finland's esteemed library system and a good place to start discovering what the city of Helsinki and its society are about.

Your guide with green cap and umbrella will wait outside next to the sharp south corner of the library. And just in case, our number: Green Cap Tours +358 45 783 63357 (no sms)
