The SkyWheel Helsinki, a striking Ferris wheel in the Katajanokka district, offers a unique vantage point to admire Helsinki. Standing 40 meters tall, it provides 360-degree views of the city's skyline, historic landmarks, and the archipelago.
Opened in June 2014, the SkyWheel was designed by Dutch Wheels and features 30 climate-controlled gondolas, ensuring comfortable rides in all seasons.

The surrounding Katajanokka district, once the location of Finnair's first flight operations in the 1920s, adds historical significance to the site.
