Helsinki is a gem for architecture enthusiasts, it was chosen as the World Design Capital in 2012 and was awarded with City of Design status in 2014. It is impossible to find another urban space that houses a wide range of architectural styles like Helsinki, however, it is easy to miss the great works of world-renowned architects in ordinary city tours. Join me in an inspiring architecture tour with a small group to visit and enjoy the architectural wonders this pocket-sized metropolis offers.
