The Covid-19 safety measures

Mannerheimintie renovation project has started between Kiasma and the Opera House. The Mannerheimintie renovation project is estimated to last about 1,5 years until September 2024, in this street section. After that the renovation area will move further north between the Opera and Reijolankatu.

Please check the current information before your arrival from the official information channel of the Mannerheimintie renovation project.

Musiikkitalo has been designed with the needs and comfort of all our visitors in mind and offers level access throughout. All our floors are served by a lift. Wheelchairs are available to borrow from our Visitor Information Centre, and there are disabled toilet facilities on every floor. Tactile and braille signage is installed throughout, including at floor level.

The concert hall is fitted with fixed induction loops in seating areas C, S, N and T. Portable induction loops are available for all other areas. To use the induction loop, select the Musiikkitalo auditorium you’re visiting. Our staff are on hand to help if you require assistance with the induction loop.
