Ahead is Kulosaari, which was an independent municipality from 1922 to 1946, functioning as a villa city at that time. The landscape of Kulosaari changed significantly in the 1950s with the arrival of foreign embassies. A notable early embassy is the Embassy of the People's Republic of China, which was established in the Vanha Kelkkamäki area in the former villa of banker Emil Schybergson in 1955.

Similarly, the Polish Embassy found its place at the southern tip of Kulosaari, and both embassies continue to operate from their original locations. Kulosaari also hosts the embassies of Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, and North Korea. The former East German embassy now houses the Ukrainian Embassy.

The 1980s were a significant period for Kulosaari's diplomatic landscape, with the Iraqi Embassy gaining attention for its distinctive oriental architecture. During the 1980s, the embassies of Iran and Colombia were also moved to Kulosaari. In the following decade, the 1990s, the diplomatic community expanded further with the addition of the Slovak and Romanian embassies.

Development continued into the early 2000s when the Yugoslav Embassy transitioned to become the Embassy of Serbia and Montenegro, and eventually, the Embassy of Serbia. Today, Kulosaari serves as a center of diplomatic activity, hosting around a thousand diplomats. Located along the shoreline, the Kulosaari Casino is a significant landmark distinguished by its tall windows. This architectural gem has become a popular venue for diplomatic meetings and events. In the background, you can see the Wihuri company's headquarters with its towers which was originally built as a hotel.
