Lasipalatsi Square

Lasipalatsi, Mannerheimintie 22, 00100 Helsinki

The Lasipalatsi square ties together the activities of the whole block and serves as the heart of the city centre. A relaxing living room where people can hang out in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city. An event scene adjacent to the Kulttuurikasarmi building enables both concerts and discussions. The square’s unique design is enhanced by five concrete-tiled mounds that offer a peek into the underground Amos Rex art museum. The pedestals of the bus platforms, which still dot the square’s edges, bear witness to its history. The central, interesting and often photographed square is available for hire for events open to the public from a few hours to several days. The rentable area is around 1,300 m², with an addition of two terrace areas, a canopied stage, a chimney and five domes covered with concrete slabs on the square. The rest of the square is rented out empty, without any event technology, structures or furniture. Outside the terraces, the square does not have separate concessions.
