Where to stay in Herttoniemi
The right area depends on your trip. Here's who each one suits — pick the place, then the hotel.
Herttoniemi lies in the north-eastern suburbs of Helsinki, a broad residential district where homes and local centres far outnumber hotels. Rooms are scarce here. The area around the Herttoniemen kirkko gives the suburb its everyday focus, a quiet and well-linked base set apart from the press of central Helsinki in southern Finland.
Most visitors instead sleep in the inner city and ride out to the eastern districts, while Herttoniemi itself suits travellers who want a calm footing near the wooded grounds of the Herttoniemen kartanon museo.
About Herttoniemi
What are the main landmarks in Herttoniemi?
The Herttoniemen kartanon museo holds the past of Herttoniemi, an old manor turned museum among the wooded grounds of this north-eastern district of Helsinki. Several churches mark its streets. The Herttoniemen kirkko, the Roihuvuoren kirkko and the Tammisalon kirkko each serve their corner of the suburb, while the Strömsin kartano adds a second old estate, giving this part of southern Finland its main built landmarks.
What is the history of Herttoniemi?
Herttoniemi grew from manor land on the north-eastern shore reaches of Helsinki, its grounds long held by the estate now kept as the Herttoniemen kartanon museo. The city came east later. As Helsinki spread, housing filled the old fields, the Herttoniemen kirkko rose to serve the new suburb, and Herttoniemi settled into its place as a residential eastern district of the Finnish capital in southern Finland.
