- stjean11Dorset, UK766 contributionsThis island is simply beautiful. The buildings are wonderful. So quiet and peaceful.
Lots of red squirrels running around.
Could have spent hours here but on a guided tour. We would love to go back and spend more time exploring the island.Written 26 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Starting in Keilaniemi business park in Espoo the tram stops at Otaniemi by the Aalto University campus travelling then through scarcely inhabited areas to Sello Mall in Leppävaara. A short tunnel passes below an ancient fortress hill before emerging in Pitäjämäki. There are connections to the railway network at Huopalahti and Oulunkylä where you can change to the Ring Rail for airport. The end station in East is the big Itis Mall with access to the metro.Written 21 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- pfefmeisterSan Francisco, CA3,043 contributionsGreat central location is a can’t miss opportunity for people watching. This block sized square is a popular magnet for folks climbing the steps for perfect views of downtown Helsinki. You’ll eventually cross through this iconic location, stop for a moment and appreciate the wonderful ambiance.Written 15 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mike NShanghai, China23 contributionsThe 3ed floor kids area is a a great place for littles to blow off steam, maybe up to 7yo. Our 10yo was excited by the 2nd floor where so much equipment is shared but you must have a library card to access it and so he left disappointed. The building is gorgeous and spirit of such a well loved public space is plain to see.Written 5 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- bckmzIstanbul, Türkiye70 contributionsNot a religious type but found this one of the most unique experiences of peaceful silence.
Nothing inside or outside can distract. Very few people visiting in this cold February day.
Total silence, peace of mind, inward focus as a bonus...
I was lucky that everyone visited while I was in it respected the photo restriction.Written 17 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
