Cultural centres

Diverse cultural offering is not limited to the Helsinki city centre. There are five cultural centres operating in different locations outside the city centre: Kanneltalo, Malmitalo, Vuotalo, Stoa and Caisa. In addition to these, the international concert hall and guest stage Savoy Theatre is located in the centre of Helsinki.

The cultural centres’ programme includes:

• concerts
• theatre performances and film screenings
• changing exhibitions
• communal events, such as afternoon dances and contact cafés.

Ticket prices are low, and some events are free of charge. Explore the current cultural offering on the website of a cultural centre near you.
