Kallio is a former working-class district of Helsinki, and today it's the most bohemian and liberal area in the whole country. It has a colourful history, small lovely boutiques, coffee shops, second-hand shops, and many bars. Hear stories about its history, architecture, fascinating personalities living in the area, prostitution in the past and now, and much more. We will see one of the oldest public saunas in Helsinki and hear more about the Finnish sauna culture. Experience the area with a real Kallio local and see how people live in one of the most authentic districts of Helsinki! A visit above the rooftops is also possible (must be confirmed separately).
