Helsinki Design and Shopping

We’ll take you on a fashionable 2 hour walk around the so called “Design District”, that is an area covering multiple neighborhoods in the southern parts of Helsinki. This is the creative center where all the bobos of the creative class commute to work, and where you find the best boutiques of established and upcoming Finnish interior and clothing designers side to side. Design is important as a way of life to us Finns. Our local guides explain the stories behind the scandinavian functionalism and give you great hints on shopping, eating and drinking in style in Helsinki.
