An urban oasis

One of the most visible novelties of the summer season in Helsinki is the Katajanokka ferris wheel by the Market Square. It is flanked by the events café of the Allas City Spa. The spa is due to open next year, when the floating pool complex will be transported to the site by water.

A diverse range of city culture events can already be enjoyed on the cosy terrace of the café. Here you can also enjoy the view over the South Harbour and admire the white marble facades of the office building designed by Alvar Aalto, with the main cathedrals of Helsinki – Lutheran and Orthodox – in the background.
