About this event
The University of Helsinki's botanists lead free 40-minute walks through the Kaisaniemi outdoor garden three days a week until late August: an evolution garden arranged along millions of years, a sensory garden of scent and colour, and rare lichen and moss beds. A separate tour visits the arboretum's nearly 200-year-old trees. One English-language slot daily at 15:00.
Why we picked it
Expert-led, free, English-available and repeatable across three weeks — a rare flexible slot for readers whose dates do not line up with festivals.
Free entry
"Vapaa pääsy, ei ennakkoilmoittautumista" — free admission, no advance registration. Applies to the outdoor garden tours; the greenhouses themselves have a separate admission charge.
