What to expect
We visit Sibelius Monument in Sibelius Park, a lovely seaside place with a history of around a century. Both received their name to honor the famous Finish composer Jean Sibelius. Sibelius Monument has been sculpted out of more than 600 hollow steel pipes by Eila Hiltunen. From Sibelius Monument we take a short walk to Cafe Regatta, a lovely seaside café, where you can enjoy the beautiful view onto the Sea and the rowing stadium.
20 minutes
Visit of Hietaranta beach, the most iconic beach spot known from countless Finnish movies and tv series. In the beginning of the 20th century the remote area of Hietaniemi was being used as a landfill and was converted into an area for sand storage. In 1929, the locals adopted the area as a sand beach. Being close to the city centre, the beach is nowadays a popular summer destination for locals and tourists. It is also a popular place for outdoor training and beach volleyball. We take a walk around the beach and continue the tour afterwards.
