Highlights
Occult Helsinki is a guided walking journey exploring the beauty where art, natural science, and philosophy meet. Designed for curious minds, history lovers, and anyone drawn to fascinating stories hidden in plain sight. Led by Henri, a local performer and storyteller, you will discover a side of the capital that most travelers and even locals never get to experience. As the cultural gateway to the North, Helsinki is the ideal stop before or after visiting Lapland, Rovaniemi, and the Arctic Circle. Whether you are heading north or returning south, this walk provides the essential folklore and mythological context for your travels. The walk covers approximately 3–4 km (1.8–2.4 miles) at a comfortable, conversational pace over 1.5 to 2 hours (90–120 minutes) through central Helsinki.

About Helsinki
Helsinki is Finland's capital on the Baltic, a compact seaside city of neoclassical squares, Art Nouveau streets, design shops and saunas.
The white neoclassical Helsinki Cathedral looks down on Senate Square, and the red-brick Uspenski Cathedral stands on a rocky headland to the east. Carl Ludvig Engel planned the city centre in the early nineteenth century after Finland passed to Russia, and Art Nouveau houses line the streets of Katajanokka and Eira. The Market Square on the harbour front has stalls of fish, berries and crafts, with the Old Market Hall nearby.
Top-ranked sights in Helsinki: Helsinki Senate Square (Senaatintori), Uspenski Cathedral, Helsinki Central Library Oodi.
