Terraces

Café and restaurant owners have the opportunity to utilise the outside area in front of their premises for serving food and drinks to customers in the
public areas owned by the City of Helsinki.

However, before launching these operations, they have to make a contract with the city concerning the use of the area.

The instructions can be found on the Urban Environment Division website (link in the More information section).
