Libraries to visit Finland

Inaugurated in 2012, Kaisa House, which houses the central bookshop of the University of Helsinki, is a striking architectural achievement. Its immaculate spaceship shape is not only innovative, it's also functional, warm and elegant. A little secret that the students will only reluctantly let you in on: the terrace, on the top floor, is a wonderful place to enjoy a coffee and admire the view over Helsinki and, above all, its white cathedral.

Behind this classic brick building lies a treasure trove of architecture, a magical place that any local will advise you to visit. This popular and very dynamic library, in view of the many cultural events organised regularly, houses a beautiful collection of books of all kinds, in small and cosy reading rooms, decorated with late Art Nouveau frescoes. On the top floor, the castle of tales is the room reserved for little faces.
