HELSINKI Finland Meeting Planner`s Manual
Meeting Planner’s Manual HELSINKI Finland Friendly. Northern. Functional. Human size. Easy to reach. Helsinki is all that – and more. Meet the Helsinki Spirit. 1. Conference Facilities 9 2. Hotels 19 3. Banqueting Facilities & Island Restaurants 43 4. Special Venues 55 5. Service Providers & Useful to know 65 Dedicated conference city Helsinki hosts an average year of 100 international conventions attended by more than 20 000 delegates and 1600 international meetings with nearly 100 000 delegates. Adding to that, there are innumerable national conferences, events and theme days annually. However, it’s about more than dedication that keeps Helsinki ahead of the pack when it comes to arranging meetings, conferences and conventions of any size. It’s about northern professionalism and unparalleled service. And it’s about the substantial benefits of Helsinki. Easy to come, easy to go Helsinki is easy to reach by air, rail or sea. Around 40 airlines operate to Helsinki, and Helsinki-Vantaa airport boasts more than 180 international landings daily. Only 25 minutes away from the city centre, it has been rated among the best by its users for many years in a row. With more time to spare, you could choose a picturesque ferry crossing either from Sweden, Germany, Poland and Estonia. Or for an easterly route, you may sample a train ride from St. Petersburg or Moscow. Flexibility in facilities Absolute entertainment There’s an abundance of venues to meet your needs, whether it’s a 10 person meeting or a 10 000 delegate congress we are talking about. Naturally, all venues can be adapted for the special requirements you may have. Flexibility is an all-encompassing quality in our service. As you would expect in Finland, the technical infrastructure is always top notch, whatever your choice of venue is. Conference organizers can customise events as well as offer attractively priced packages. The Helsinki night is filled with music, people and electricity. The city has an active nightlife throughout the year, and there is a good mix of styles to suit all tastes. Helsinki does not compete with other cities in terms of the amount of nightlife but rather its quality. A wide range of clubs and bars offers a choice of atmospheres and price levels. Helsinki also offers many stylish and unique venues for memorable gala dinners and banquets. High-quality restaurants, modern steel-and-glass spaces, historic brick-arch halls and other architecturally impressive banqueting alternatives are offered in all seasons. Especially popular in the summer months are the restaurants on the many islands in Helsinki’s archipelago. A variety of professional entertainment can also be tailor-made to suit the special event. Anything from classical Finnish music to hard rock hallelujah can be performed during banquets and dinners. Accommodation for all Helsinki offers about 8000 rooms with 14 000 beds in around 60 locations, ranging from firstclass hotels to hostels for the more economically minded. Most are within 1.5 kilometres of city centre. The majority of international hotel chains, such as Best Western, Crowne Plaza, Hilton, Holiday Inn, Luxury Collection, Small Luxury Hotels of the World, Radisson Blu, Scandic and Sokos, have presence in Helsinki. Usually breakfast and taxes are included in the room prices. Note, however, that official ratings aren’t used in Finland. The ratings provided in this manual are only approximate and are provided by the Helsinki City Tourist & Convention Bureau. Touring before or after When the meeting is over or before it has even started, delegates may enjoy the numerous supplementary programmes and outings Helsinki and its outlying areas have in store. There are, of course, guided tours by bus, tram, boat or even by foot. Unguided, you may plunge into Helsinki’s active cultural life – exhibitions, museums, concerts, theatre or clubbing – whatever is the name of the game. If there’s more time to spare, Lapland and other areas of interest in Finland are easily reached by train or plane. Just as easy it is to have a taste of Russia... Or to make a day trip to Tallinn with 35–40 daily crossings to choose from. On top of that, excellent air and sea connections to Stockholm make the capital of Sweden an attractive choice, too. Big and small enough Compact in size, there’s only half a million inhabitants in the city itself. This translates into a relaxed, friendly and safe atmosphere that invites delegates to enjoy and to make use of their stay to the full. Practically everything in central Helsinki – hotels, restaurants, cafes, shops and sights – are within a walking distance. And if not in the mood for a stroll, you can always take a taxi or use Helsinki’s efficient public transports. Traffic in a city this small is a breeze compared to many. Language is not a problem either. As most Finns take it for granted that you don’t speak their language, they are glad to make use of their English or other European languages they master. Finland is in fact a bilingual country, the second official language being Swedish.
