On top of dancing, Helsinki offers plenty of activities, sightseeing, cafes, and restaurants. Winter time here is truly magical - cold sunny days with daylight increasing by 2-4 minutes per day.

All our main parties - Friday, Saturday, and Sunday - are located in single venue. With probably the most fast (slippery) floor in the whole country.

Right next to the venue, only 3 min walk away, there’s Park Hotel (www.parkhotel.fi) with quite affordable rooms.

To get around the city

The venue is easily reachable by public transport (bus, tram, train). Taxi apps (Uber/Bolt) are quite affordable as well. Google Maps shows accurate travel info. In the public transport, you can pay for the ticket (AB) with contactless payment, or use the HSL app.
