About this venue
Helsinki Ice Hall is one of Helsinki’s best-known indoor arenas—compact, purpose-built, and designed for live events. As a classic ice hall venue, it’s valued for its clear sightlines and the feeling of being close to the action, whether you’re watching a fast-paced game or a concert set that benefits from the hall’s intimate scale.
Inside, the experience is straightforward and visitor-friendly: most sections offer strong visibility, entrances are easy to navigate, and the layout keeps movement between seating, concourses, and refreshment points practical. Many visitors appreciate the comfortable seating and the smooth flow during breaks, which helps the event feel well organized from start to finish.
You’ll find the arena at Nordenskiöldinkatu 11-13, Helsinki, Finland. Getting to the entrance is simple on foot from the main street, with tram and bus stops nearby and additional parking options in surrounding streets and garages (subject to availability and local rules).

About the city
Helsinki, an elegant capital on the Baltic coast, stands out as one of Northern Europe’s most appealing destinations for concerts and sporting events. The city blends modern urban energy with a relaxed atmosphere, making it easy to pair an evening event with daytime exploration. With a well-developed range of restaurants, bars, and accommodation across different price points, trips are straightforward to plan and genuinely enjoyable.
A major advantage is the reliable infrastructure and easy navigation: the public transport network is managed by HSL (Helsingin seudun liikenne) and includes trams, buses, the Helsinki Metro, commuter trains, and ferry services. Whether you arrive by train at Helsinki Central Railway Station (Helsingin päärautatieasema) or fly into Helsinki Airport / Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, getting to the main arenas and stadiums is quick and intuitive, often without needing multiple transfers. It’s also convenient that the same ticket can be used across several modes of transport, so moving between your accommodation, the city centre, and event venues is effortless.
If you have time before or after the show, Helsinki delivers an excellent “tourist bonus”: stroll around Senate Square (Senaatintori) and Market Square (Kauppatori), stop by Esplanadi, or explore design districts filled with galleries and boutiques. For sea views, there are waterfront promenades and nearby islands reachable by boat, and many visitors choose a trip to the Suomenlinna sea fortress. If you’re in the mood for a slower pace, paths along the Vantaanjoki and the city’s parks provide a calm counterpoint to an exciting evening programme.
