This fascinating tour offers you the opportunity to get to know Helsinki, its maritime beauty, and its diverse connections, all centered around the magnificent Olympic Terminal.

Olympic Terminal – A Maritime Gateway to the World

The Olympic Terminal is the pride of Helsinki’s harbor and an important hub for passenger traffic. This beautiful and functional building was completed just in time for the 1952 Helsinki Olympics and has welcomed millions of passengers from around the world for nearly 75 years.

Today, the Olympic Terminal connects Helsinki to numerous destinations and serves as the home port for Tallink Silja Line, enabling daily trips between Helsinki and Stockholm. Every day, thousands of passengers pass through this historic building, which is an essential part of Helsinki's passenger transport network.

Sustainable Development and Architectural Boldness

Our 75th Anniversary Tour of the Olympic Terminal demonstrates that Helsinki has always been environmentally conscious and committed to sustainable construction. Nearly a hundred years ago, when the decision was made to attract the Olympics to Helsinki, far-reaching decisions were made for the benefit of the local people and their well-being. New architectural trends with a genuine Nordic functionalist perspective were given the opportunity to participate in creating a new and bold cityscape.

Join us on this unforgettable journey and experience for yourself how Helsinki and its beautiful buildings are built to last. This tour is a perfect way to explore the city’s history, architecture, and future, and it will undoubtedly leave you inspired and enchanted by Helsinki's unique charm.
