Helsinki Design Week
The Ruoholahti Joint Shelter, also known as Viinatunneli, is a unique venue that offers a glimpse into Helsinki's architectural and historical significance. Originally constructed to transport goods from the Alko factory to a central warehouse, this tunnel was built between 1973 and 1978 and served as a vital part of the city's infrastructure until its closure in 1993. Now repurposed as a civil defense shelter, it has become a popular site for guided tours during events like the Open House Helsinki. The venue can accommodate a maximum of 15 people per tour, making it ideal for intimate gatherings or educational visits. The tours require advance registration, ensuring a personalized experience. This venue is particularly suitable for architecture enthusiasts, history buffs, and those interested in unique urban spaces. The collaboration with Helsinki Design Week enhances its appeal, making it a must-visit during the festival.
