A culture seeker's delight, Helsinki City Center has much to offer fans of the arts, including the Finnish National Theater, the Kansallisooppera (opera), and the Ateneum art museum.

The Finnish National Theater should be the first stop in the capital for those who enjoy stage plays. The oldest Finnish-language theater in all of Finland, the Finnish National Theater has held performances for almost 150 years. Its repertoire has included international works from the beginning. The founders saw classics from the Greeks and Romans as essential to the program of any full-fledged theater, and these types of plays still take to the stage today.
