Helsinki City Theatre (Helsingin kaupunginteatteri)
The Helsinki City Theatre (Finnish: Helsingin Kaupunginteatteri; Swedish: Helsingfors stadsteater) is a theatre located in Helsinki, Finland. Owned by the Helsinki Theatre Foundation, it operates on a perception of itself as a modern popular bilingual repertoire theatre.
The Helsinki City Theatre is the only Finnish representative in the European Theatre Convention. In addition to drama and musicals, the theatre operates a concert dance oriented branch, the Helsinki Dance Company.
Helsingin kaupunginhallitus järjesti 1960 yleisen arkkitehtuurikilpailun kaupunginteatterin suunnittelusta. Ensimmäinen palkinto annettiin arkkitehtien Timo Penttilän ja Kari Virran ehdotukselle Arlecchino, avustajana oli arkkitehti Pekka Ilveskoski. Päätös uuden teatteritalon rakentamisesta tehtiin 1965. Arkkitehti Timo Penttilän toimiston suunnittelema valmis teatterirakennus luovutettiin Helsingin teatterisäätiön hallintaan 7. syyskuuta 1967.

MFA Friday Clip: Finnish Architecture. Review 2018 - Helsinki City Theatre Restoration
MFA Friday Clip series presents videos of the latest biennial review projects. This week: the restoration of Helsinki City Theatre by LPR Architects.
Helsinki City Theatre is the crowning achievement of Timo Penttilä’s career as an architect. The restoration work finished in 2017 by Turku-based LPR Architects is among the selections of the jury for the Finnish Architecture Review 2018. LPR Architects have taken special care to preserve the character of Penttilä’s original 1960s design, complete with its distinctive sequence of spaces and panoramic views of the surrounding park.
Outwardly no changes are visible: all new technology is concealed, and the façades and public areas have been restored to their former appearance. All the detailing is exactly as it originally was: the carpeting and other textiles were renewed in their original colour scheme and the latticework was reconstructed with loving attention to detail.
The restoration for the Helsinki City Theatre by LPR Architects is one of the 16 jury selections for the Finnish Architecture Review 2018.
About the review:
Finland’s biennial architectural reviews present a selection of recent projects showcasing new trends and high standards of excellence in Finnish architecture. The projects offer an example of recent accomplishments in high-level contemporary planning, renovation, and sustainable, responsible design. The review is organized by the Museum of Finnish Architecture, the Finnish Association of Architects SAFA and the Alvar Aalto Foundation.

Helsinki Travel Guide - Finland Magical Moments
Helsinki (Finnish) or Helsingfors (Swedish) is the capital of Finland. Founded in 1550, the Daughter of the Baltic has been the Finnish capital since 1812, when it was rebuilt by the tsars of Russia along the lines of a miniature St. Petersburg, a role it has played in many Cold War movies. Today, Helsinki pulls off the trick of being something of an international metropolis while still retaining a small-town feel. The best time to visit is in summer, when Finns peel off their overcoats and flock to outdoor bars and cafes to enjoy the sunshine.
Helsinki was founded in A.D. 1550 by King Gustav Vasa of Sweden as a trading post to compete with Tallinn to the south in Estonia, which was Danish at that time. Its growth was slow until the establishment of Sveaborg (nowadays Suomenlinna) Maritime Fortress in the front of Helsinki in the middle of 18th century.
The county of Helsinki forms the core of Finland's largest urban area, known in Finnish as the capital area (pääkaupunkiseutu). Helsinki is bordered by the Gulf of Finland to the south, while the suburban municipality Espoo, with the embedded tiny enclave town of Kauniainen, is to the west. The more industrialized municipality of Vantaa is to the north and east. Beyond these three the suburbs rapidly give way to small towns, farms and forests, most notably Nuuksio National Park at the intersection of Espoo, Vihti and Kirkkonummi.
Within Helsinki itself, the city center is on the southern peninsula at the end of the city's main thoroughfare Mannerheimintie (or just Mansku). Both the central railway station and the main bus terminal are in the city center. Shopping streets Aleksanterinkatu (or Aleksi for short) and Esplanadi (or Espa) connect to Senate Square (Senaatintori), the historical center of the city.
Helsinki has a humid continental climate, with significant moderation from the sea and it's the coldest major city in Scandinavia and one of the coldest cities in Europe. Winters are damp, snowy and cold and temperatures usually stay below freezing and temperatures can fall down to -7°C (18°F) in February (the coldest month).
Central Helsinki is rather compact and can be explored on foot by energetic visitors. A combination of walking and public transportation might be most convenient to cover the sights in Helsinki. A metro line runs from the Matinkylä suburb in Espoo in the west, through the city center, and then to the eastern suburbs. Apart from the metro stops at the shopping centers of Iso Omena (Matinkylä), Ainoa (Tapiola) and Itis (Itäkeskus), the Rastila camping site and Aurinkolahti Beach, few places along the line are of interest to tourists. After Itäkeskus in the east, the line splits in two, with one line going to Mellunmäki and the other to Vuosaari. From the city center, the travel time to the ends of each of the lines is about 20 minutes.
Surrounded by sea and a vast archipelago, Helsinki is at its best in the summer when the dialogue between the city and nature is at its fullest. Classical Helsinki's sights can be divided into an eclectic set of churches and a wide variety of museums. For a coastal amble past some of Helsinki's minor and major sights, see the itinerary A seaside stroll in Helsinki.

Helsinki: Suomenlinna Fortress Island HD Video Tour - Finland
Helsinki Suomenlinna Island Fortress: Travel Video Tour in HD - Finland.
Walking Video Tour of Suomenlinna Fortress Island.
Short tour on foot of Suomenlinna Island, Fortress, Coast, Beaches, Church, Naval Academy, Vesikko Submarine, and other landmarks... Enjoy...
-------------------------------
Suomenlinna (Finnish) or Sveaborg (Swedish), until 1918 Viapori (Finnish), is an inhabited sea fortress built on six islands (Kustaanmiekka, Susisaari, Iso-Mustasaari, Pikku-Mustasaari, Länsi-Mustasaari and Långören) and which now forms part of the city of Helsinki, the capital of Finland.
Suomenlinna is a UNESCO World Heritage site and popular with tourists and locals, who enjoy it as a picturesque picnic site. Originally named Sveaborg (Fortress of Svea), or Viapori as called by Finnish-speaking Finns, it was renamed Suomenlinna (Castle of Finland) in 1918 for patriotic and nationalistic reasons, though it is also known by its original name.
The Swedish crown commenced the construction of the fortress in 1748 as protection against Russian expansionism. The general responsibility for the fortification work was given to Augustin Ehrensvärd. The original plan of the bastion fortress was strongly influenced by the ideas of Vauban, the foremost military engineer of the time, and the principles of star fort style of fortification, albeit adapted to a group of rocky islands.
In addition to the island fortress itself, seafacing fortifications on the mainland would ensure that an enemy would not acquire a beach-head from which to stage attacks. The plan was also to stock munitions for the whole Finnish contingent of the Swedish Army and Royal Swedish Navy there. In the Finnish War the fortress surrendered to Russia on May 3, 1808, paving the way for the occupation of Finland by Russian forces in 1809.
Suomenlinna is now one of the most popular tourist attractions in Helsinki as well as a popular picnicking spot for the city's inhabitants. On a sunny summer day the islands, and in particular the ferries, can get quite crowded. In 2009, a record 713,000 people visited Suomenlinna, most between May and September. A number of museums exist on the island, as well as the last surviving Finnish submarine, Vesikko.
Suomenlinna has always been much more than just a part of Helsinki — it is a town within the town. There are about 900 permanent inhabitants on the islands, and 350 people work there year round. This is one of the features that makes Suomenlinna unique: the fortress is not simply a museum but a living community.
There is a minimum-security penal labor colony (Finnish: työsiirtola) in Suomenlinna, whose inmates work on the maintenance and reconstruction of the fortifications. Only volunteer inmates who pledge non-use of controlled substances are accepted to the labour colony.
For the general public, Suomenlinna is served by ferries all year, and a service tunnel supplying heating, water and electricity was built in 1982. From the beginning of the 1990s, the tunnel was modified so that it can also be used for emergency transport.
Suomenlinna has been known as an avant-garde location for culture. In the mid-1980s the Nordic Arts Centre was established on the island. Several buildings have been converted into artists' studios, which are let by the administration at reasonable rates. During the summer there is an art school for children. The performances of the Suomenlinna summer theatre regularly draw full houses.
