Oodi, the celebrated central library in Helsinki, exemplifies Finnish design and innovation. This tour offers an opportunity to explore the remarkable structure, featuring its elegant wooden curves and pristine white roof, and to experience the convergence of Finnish culture.

The tour commences on the lively ground floor, where expansive glass walls represent Finnish transparency and openness. Participants will learn how this architectural marvel, named “Ode” in English, was selected through a public competition and recognized as the world’s best public library in 2019. Throughout the exploration, the guide will provide insights into Finnish values and cultural nuances, with a hint of characteristic dry humor.

Visitors will journey through Oodi’s three uniquely charming floors, each with its own character. The tour ascends to the third floor, filled with 100,000 books in over 80 languages, alongside living trees, art installations, and stunning views of the Finnish Parliament.
