The Finnish Presidential Palace was built in 1820. After it was built, it was remodeled several times for the use of the Russian tsar. After the independence of Finland, the building has been used as the representative office and official residence of the President of the Republic of Finland. However, in 2014, the Presidential Palace is undergoing major renovations, and the interior is not open to the public for the time being.

Show More ReviewsThe Presidential Palace is also romantic. Why? Because this place was the palace of the Tsar of the Russian Empire before Finland's independence. From the outside, this small yellow building does not seem luxurious at all, but when the Tsar went out to travel, the ball salons inside were quite grand. Of course, the President of Finland lives here now. If the President is inside, the flag will be raised on the flagpole.
