Guided Art Historical Tours introduces visitors to the history and architecture of Helsinki University’s City Centre Campus.
Previously the only University campus, the City Centre Campus now serves as a home for the Faculties of Art, Educational Sciences, Law, Theology, Social Sciences and the Swedish School of Social Science.
City planning in 19th Century Helsinki was strongly influenced by the European city planning models. University of Helsinki was granted a very central location at the heart of the city, and the City Center Campus is still uniquely linked to the everyday life of the people of Helsinki. The buildings are flawlessly camouflaged into the cityscape and most passersby do not notice the presence of the University Campus.
On this walking tour you will be introduced to the Campus, the history of University of Helsinki and to the 14 different University buildings all situated conveniently on an area covering just couple of blocks, right at the centre of the capital. The University buildings are among the oldest in the city and styles vary from 19th century neoclassicism to 21st century contemporary architecture. Hence, this tour is also an excellent way to get an overall idea of the architectural history of Helsinki.
The tour is part of Guided Art Historical Tours organized at University of Helsinki’s campus areas. Guides are students of art history. Tours are free of charge and require no registration.
Accessibility: The tours are not entirely accessible. The route contains some thresholds, cobblestone, and hills characteristic to the old district.
Starting point: Older side of the University Main Building (stairs), Unioninkatu 34
