5BK Visit to Perho College, Helsinki - Day 3

Helsinki is a city where modern innovation meets cultural richness. A standout experience was visiting NorthOutdoor, a Finnish brand known for its sustainable merino wool clothing. It was fascinating to see how they combine eco-friendly practices with stylish, functional designs for the Nordic climate.



After this cool impression, we took a quick ride on the tram to Perho College which specialises in gastronomy and business. The fresh ingredients, some of which are home-grown on their own farm, are processed fresh every day and can be eaten in the Perho College restaurant.



Another unforgettable stop was Temppeliaukio Church, or the Stone Church. Carved directly into solid rock, this architectural marvel offers a serene atmosphere filled with natural light, making it a must-visit site.



A visit to Helsinki's public library, Oodi, revealed how much the city values creativity and community. The library wasn’t just for reading — it featured workspaces for freelancers, dedicated areas for computer gaming, and even rooms where visitors could borrow musical instruments like guitars and keyboards. It was a vibrant, multi-functional space designed for learning, collaboration, and fun.


In the evening some of us visited the Olympic Stadium (Summer Games 1952) where there is the highest viewing platform in Helsinki.
