Whenever I visit a city, I like to go to a place where I can have a good panoramic view of it, which is not always easy.

From recent trips I now remember the panoramic views from the Katarina Elevator Viewpoint in another Nordic capital, Stockholm. Waves panoramic views of Heidelberg, in Germany, since Philosophers walk. Or the panoramic views of Lisbon from the Santa Justa Elevator.

When you arrive in Helsinki, in Finland, you will see that it is a very flat city. You barely have the elevations of the small hills where the Helsinki White Cathedral and Uspensky Orthodox Cathedral.

Now, in the commercial area of ​​the city, next to the large Kampi square, where the big shopping center is Kampi Kampen, Is the Hotel Torni. On the top floor there is a bar with a glassed-in upper terrace, from where you undoubtedly have the best panoramic views of Helsinki.

El Hotel Torni It is a building built in 1931, and at the time it became the tallest in Helsinki, with its 70-meter-high tower. Currently it belongs to the Soko hotel chain, and its interior has been completely remodeled in 2005.

The Torni hotel is located in the heart of Helsinki Design Quarter, which you can see in the terrace bar itself.

With the name of Ateljee Bar, you will find a terrace divided into two areas, both with a very small surface area where the tables are distributed. The terrace is completely glazed, which warns of how cold it must be most of the year.

Once you sit at one of the tables, you have splendid panoramic views of the Finnish capital, and you see that it is surrounded by forests and sea on all sides.

El opening hours of the Ateljee Bar at the Torni hotel It is from 14 p.m. to one in the morning.
