Republikens Presidents Kansli or Presidential Palace is located in the heart of the city and is among the official residences of the President of Finland. The palace we see today dates back to 1845 and even though it has undergone several refurbishments over the decades, its historic charm has been maintained. The interiors are known for having an extensive collection of furnishings and artworks. If you are in Helsinki during one of the open-door occasions for the public at Presidential Palace, do not miss a chance to witness this grand structure.
