Culture and Finnish design 
Helsinki is a vibrant mix of colourful architecture, where National Romantic gargoyles gaze out across neighbourhoods built entirely in the decorative Art Nouveau style, or overlook modernist marvels. Helsinki is a true cultural capital rich in festivals and events.

Minimalistic, functional and clean, Finnish design has enjoyed an enviable international reputation for decades.
Finnish music – from classical to heavy metal – is highly respected and appreciated throughout the world.
