Neighbourhood guide
About Kamppi and Punavuori: the back story
Kamppi is the busy centre around the bus station and Narinkkatori, with the timber Kamppi Chapel, Amos Rex under the Lasipalatsi square and Hotel St. George on the Old Church Park. South-west, Bulevardi leads into Punavuori, past Sinebrychoff and a dense run of restaurants.
The centre
Kamppi Chapel offers a moment of silence in the middle of the shopping streets; Amos Rex’s galleries are under the domes outside.
Bulevardi
The Boulevard runs past Klaus K, Hotel Indigo and Lapland Hotels Bulevardi to the Sinebrychoff Art Museum and Hietalahti.
Book Boreal or Grön well ahead.
Our advice: a morning at Amos Rex, an evening on Bulevardi.
