About Kaisaniemi
What are the main landmarks in Kaisaniemi?
Three names sit on the list. The Kansallisgalleria and the Kiasma-teatteri are both filed under Kaisaniemi, and the Kasvimuseo makes a third entry, which is more catalogued addresses than most sections of a city centre manage. Kluuvi holds them alongside Kaisaniemi.
Vironniemi is the district all of it answers to.
What is the history of Kaisaniemi?
The register gives no founding year. Kaisaniemi comes down as a named part of the Helsinki centre rather than as a settlement of its own, filed inside the neighbourhood of Kluuvi and, above that, the Vironniemi district. Its dates are the capital's dates.
The record places it between the Helsinki Central railway station and Hakaniemi to the north, and leaves the rest to Helsinki.
Where is Kaisaniemi?
Kaisaniemi occupies a piece of the Helsinki centre east of the Helsinki Central railway station, with Hakaniemi to the north and Kluuvi enclosing it.
