Accessibility
Disabled parking spaces
The nearest disabled parking spaces can be found on the bottom level of the Aimo Park Finlandia multi-storey car park which offers direct lift access to the Musiikkitalo Main Foyer.
Level access
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, and there are disabled toilet facilities on every floor. Tactile and braille signage is installed throughout, including at floor level.
Induction loops
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.
Companion seating
Musiikkitalo’s main partners, Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Sibelius Academy, offer a free companion seat to disabled visitors for all our in-house concerts. Please note that arrangements for events run by other organisers may vary. The need for a personal assistant should be verifiable with an EU Disability Card or verifiable through other means. The paid ticket is intended for the person requiring assistance, and the free ticket is for their personal assistant. Be prepared to show your card to the staff upon arrival at the concert. Starting from autumn 2025, a wheelchair space ticket will automatically include a seat for the assistant, and a separate assistant ticket will no longer be issued.
Guide and support dogs
We look forward to welcoming both you and your guide or support dog at Musiikkitalo! You can always choose to have your dog in the auditorium with you. Alternatively, they can be looked after in our staffed guide dog park in the main foyer.
Communication boards
You can download one of our communication boards to help you. Our Customer Information Centre also has five communication boards that are available to borrow.
Fragrance sensitivity
At Musiikkitalo, we advise all our visitors to avoid using strong perfumes as this makes a big difference to those with asthma or a fragrance sensitivity.
