About this experience
Ancients said: 'A city is not its walls, but its people.' Kallio is not just a small piece of Helsinki, it is the lifestyle of the most active and creative part of the Finnish capital. You will walk through its atmospheric streets, see the ancient church, and find the last wood-fired sauna in the city center.
What to expect
Uncharted Kallio
Kallio is off the beaten path, allowing you to experience the authentic spirit of Finland. You will find yourself in a place with proletarian history, where architectural past and present, creativity and everyday life, Finnish and international blend together. You will see the churches of Kallio and the Sacred Heart, walk through a district with wooden buildings from the past century, and feel the aromas of coffee and genuine Finnish sauna.
Finland from within
I will reveal the most interesting parts of Finland's history and tell you about the life and traditions of the locals: how they spend their time, what they cook, how they start families, and build relationships at home, at work, and in society. Additionally, you will hear intriguing facts about the social aspects of Finnish life and receive valuable practical recommendations: what and where to try and which places to visit independently.
