Why go
The arena earns a trip for the event rather than for daytime sightseeing. Its convertible interior supports markedly different formats, from ice hockey and other sports to full-scale concerts, making it one of Helsinki’s principal addresses for large live productions.
What to look for
- The adaptable arena floor and seating accommodate both sports and concert configurations.
- Programmes include international championships as well as major touring entertainment.
- Its Pasila location places it near rail connections and the Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre.
Useful to know
- The venue formerly known as Hartwall Areena now operates as Veikkaus Arena.
- Access, transport demand and entry procedures vary by event; check the organiser’s instructions.
