What to expect
Senate Square is home to historic landmarks like the Helsinki Cathedral, Government Palace, University, and merchants' homes, all designed in the 19th century to create a monumental center for the new capital city. Together, we’ll uncover its history, neoclassical architecture, and the fascinating stories behind it.

Esplanadi, or 'Espa,' is Helsinki’s most famous park and a vibrant gathering place. Visitors can enjoy a coffee, listen to live music near the historic Kappeli restaurant, and admire Finland’s first public monument—a statue of national poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg. In summer, the park blooms with colourful flowers and greenery. Beneath the park lies a massive heating and cooling plant, the Esplanade cooling centre, which reduces carbon emissions by over 20,000 tonnes a year and helps capture excess heat for energy production.
