Finlandia Hall

Step Iinto an experience

Finlandia Hall is one the most important architectural attractions in Helsinki. Alvar Aalto’s design was finished in 1971 in its beautiful central location by the Töölö Bay.

As the name indicates, Finlandia Hall was designed to be a symbol for Finland. Aalto originally made plans for the whole Töölö Bay area in 1962. Aalto designed Finlandia Hall, like many of his buildings, as a complete work of art including the interior. The lights, door handles, chairs and other furniture were designed by Aalto and his architect bureau. They constitute an essential part of the full masterpiece known as Finlandia Hall and definitely make the inside of the building worth a visit as well.

The newly renovated Finlandia Hall opened its doors in January 2025, offering a unique blend of Finnish architecture, design, and culinary delights. This iconic building has been transformed into an inspiring event venue where history meets modern innovation in a truly captivating way.

The refreshed Finlandia Hall features a variety of new services and experiences for visitors to enjoy.
