The arena can hold more than 40,000 people at a time, making it the largest in Finland. Come to watch a soccer match or see a live performance. Tour the arena and walk through exhibits at the Sports Museum of Finland. Then make your way to the top of the stadium tower for views of Helsinki. You can even stay in a youth hostel located inside the stadium.

  Das Olympiastadion wird aktuell umgebaut, ein Besuch der Außenanlagen lohnt sich aber dennoch, denn vor dem Stadion befindet sich das Denkmal des finnischen Wunderläufers Paavo Nurmi. Wer mit dem Hop-...  more »

  The Olympic Stadium is currently being rebuilt, but still worth visiting the grounds, because outside the stadium, the monument of the Finnish wonder runner Paavo Nurmi is located. Who is on the road with the hop-on-hop-off bus, stops next to the monument

  We went here in the hope of both seeing the Olympic stadium and perhaps having a glimpse of the famous eagle owls that are on the area. Neither happened. The stadium was being renovated and you could not get too close to it. And the Finnish bird group are quite rude and never reply to any emails regarding getting help to see the birds. Very disappointed.
