Musiikkitalo
CONCERT VENUE
As cool and crisp as a gin and tonic on a glacier, this striking modern building is a great
addition to central Helsinki. The interior doesn't disappoint either - the main auditorium,
visible from the foyer, has stunning acoustics. There are regular classical concerts, and
prices are kept low, normally around €20. The bar is a nice place to hang out for a drink.
