Kallion Kirjasto

Reviewed By MikaelF413 - Vantaa, Finland

The Kallio Library is a branch of the Helsinki City Library. It is located next to the Bear Park in the Kallio district. This red brick building from 1912 is the fourth oldest library building in Finland. The Art Nouveau interior is very striking and very different from what you could expect from outside.

Helsinki University Library

Reviewed By paul_ark_2014 - Bangkok, Thailand

Had the pleasure of visiting the Helsinki University Library on a walking tour of the city, and it was the one stop I wish we could have spent more time to wander and soak in the amazing architecture. If I had a free afternoon, I would love to just settle in here and read or listen to music.

Oodi Central Library

Reviewed By ngaanh1234

Visiting Oodi was one of the best experiences that I had in Helsinki. I'm sure you can't find any similar library! I can stay here all day long doing different kinds of things: reading books, having a cup of coffee or even playing games! What I like about Oodi is that no matter what your purpose is, there is always a suitable space for you.

Finlandia - Talo

Reviewed By MikaelF413 - Vantaa, Finland

The Finlandia Hall is a congress and event venue on the Töölönlahti Bay. It was designed by architect Alvar Aalto and completed in 1971. Aalto wanted to use white Carrara marble on both indoor and outdoor surfaces. The main auditorium seats 1700 people, 1200 in the stalls and 500 in the balcony. It has served as a venue for several international meetings. Probably the most important meeting has been in 1975 the meeting of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, which was participated by President Brezhnev from the Soviet Union and President Ford from the United States. Before the completion of Helsinki Music Centre in 2011, the Finlandia Hall was the main venue for the concerts of the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Helsinki Philharmonic. There was a lot of discussion of the acoustics of the main auditorium and the ceiling was lowered to make it better. The building is worth to visit because of the interesting architecture. There are some guided tours but quite rarely. The dates can be found on the website of Finland Hall.
