Why go
The stadium brings Helsinki’s twentieth-century sports history into one clearly recognisable structure. Its event role remains active, while tours and visitor facilities offer the means to see more than the exterior when available. The stadium was intended for the 1940 Summer Olympics, which were cancelled during the Second World War.
