Overview

Modern Helsinki is a fascinating idea that goes well beyond amazing Finnish architecture and Nordic design. Modern Helsinki is a way of life; modern Helsinki is the personal experiences of its minorities, newcomers, locals, and visitors.
In this tour, you will hear everything about the origins and functioning of the welfare state and its provisions, the challenges of the current society, and the history of racial and social minorities.
With this tour, you become one of us and discover that we are modern Helsinki!
This is a free tour, so the small fee that you pay upon booking is to cover the system service costs. Our guides will be happy to accept any tip you want to offer at the end of the tour. You decide our value!
