Wooden Vallila neighborhood

A unique neighborhood with its wooden houses

Vallila is a mostly residential neighborhood famous for its wooden houses built in the 1910's and 1920's for the cities working classes. Now, the neighborhood is becoming a trendy place for locals and small businesses. Walk in the neighborhood saved by locals, visit Vallila library - one of architect Juha Leiviskä's wooden masterpieces from 80's, and see a mural by Guido van Helten.
