The Clock Tower Time Travel experience takes you on a fascinating journey through the tower’s history, stories and architecture, all the way to the observation deck.
The Clock Tower Time Travel experience offers a unique opportunity to discover one of Helsinki’s most famous landmarks from a completely new perspective. During the tour, you will hear about the history of the clock tower, the development of the railway station and the tower’s significance in Helsinki’s cityscape.
The tour culminates in a climb to the clock tower’s observation deck, where breathtaking views open up across central Helsinki. Along the way, you will gain access to spaces that have remained closed to the general public for most of the tower’s history.
For more than a hundred years, the clock tower has stood above Helsinki as one of the city’s most recognisable landmarks. Now you have the opportunity to experience this historic building from the inside and see Helsinki from a unique perspective.
