Architecture

Architects including Alvar Aalto and Eliel Saarinen paved the way in the 20th century for Finland’s international reputation for architecture.

Finlandia Hall designed by Alvar Aalto

Helsinki landmarks, such as Aalto’s Finlandia Hall and the ‘Church in the Rock’ by Timo and Tuomo Suomalainen, provide an exciting trail of architectural treasures, while the rest of Finland is similarly, if more sparsely endowed with exemplary building designs. Include Jyväskylä – Aalto’s home town - in central Finland on your tour and visit the museum dedicated to the father of modern Finnish architecture, and admire more recent creations such as the Metso library in Tampere, the work of Raili and Reima Pietilä.
