Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Finnish Parliament Building, outside view is far from being some piece of architecture but rather a very solemn and cold building. Situated on a little hill offers a sensation of isolation also. Especially comparing with the people enjoying life on the other side of the street in front of Oodi Central Library.

A rather intimidating looking building from the exterior given this is the seat of power for Finland. You cant fail to see it if in the Toolo district of Helsinki.

On our recent visit to Helsinki, we decided to do the English tour of the Finnish Parliament House in Helsinki. It was an extremely interesting and informative tour and one that leaves visitors with a very positive impression of the Finnish form of government and their Republican model. Despite Finland's relative small population, the Parliament House was very extensive and impressive. The tours around the Parliament House are free with English (and other language) guided tours running regularly (you will need to check the days and times). Highly recommended.

The building itself wasn't that jaw dropping, to be honest (big and impressive, but not very ornate on the outside), but I did really enjoy when all the odd performance artists arrived on bikes and in identical suits and moved in slo-motion over the steps. Neat!

Visited during the summer, so there were no sessions and hardly any employee.The building has very interesting architecture. The tour is very informative. Look up the tour times ahead of time. The English tour is at 1pm.

...if you are interested in architecture and the ideas behind the design of the building, definitely worths to visit the place. It is open for the public only at specific hours. Should check/ask beforehand

The Parliament building sits a bit on a hill and is an impressive facade. There are some nice statues outside. It’s not a huge building but it is an important one.

A striking building in the Koala district and for such a large structure, it only has 200 members of Parliament which was surprising.
The building looks a lot older than it is but is an estimated 100 years old.
Well worth a look if you are visiting this beautiful capital city.

The impressive red granite building dominating the city center was designed by architect J.S.Siren and opened to real need in 1931 as the Parliament had for years held sessions at various locations. Representing the popular Finnish Classic style of the first half of the 20th century the whole facade is formed by an imposing colonnade and stairs where urgent demonstrations are often held. To visit the recently restored magnificient Art Deco interior booking in advance is needed, but might prove to be difficult due to the popularity of the free tour.
