I always visit
Reviewed by A TripAdvisor Member on Sep 7, 2008


I have been in Helsinki maybe 8 or 10 times, and I always make the trip to the Gallen-Kallela house. There's a long tram journey, then a pleasant 2.5 km walk through a park and by the sea to get to the house. It's designed in the national-romantic style, and it's a fun peice of architecture. The house isn't very big, but it has an excellent display of paintings by Gallen-Kallela and his contemporaries, plus a small changing exhibition. There's a good cafe/restaurant next to the house, so it's worth eating lunch here. This is a small but delightful place to visit, and I never miss it. It's a gem.
