Finlandia Hall
About

Finlandia Hall is one of Helsinki’s most iconic architectural landmarks, designed by Alvar Aalto and completed in 1971, recently reopened after a major renovation in 2025. Located by Töölö Bay, its striking white Carrara marble façade and black granite accents reflect Aalto’s vision of blending Finnish modernism with Mediterranean influences, while the building’s interiors—down to the lights, furniture, and door handles—were custom-designed by Aalto and his team, making every detail part of a unified work of art. The hall’s asymmetrical forms, use of natural materials, and interplay of light create a unique atmosphere that highlights both performers and audience, rather than the architecture itself. Inside, visitors can experience the newly opened Finlandia Cafe&Wine with panoramic bay views, the Finlandia Shop featuring design-inspired goods, and the immersive Finlandia exhibition, which delves into Aalto’s creativity and Finnish culture. The building also offers accommodation in restored apartments, a modern bistro, and frequent art and design events, transforming Finlandia Hall into a vibrant cultural and social destination where architecture, history, and contemporary Finnish life meet.
