Old library, where very few people actually visit (even locals). If you are fan of architecture and old books, you should visit, because of the atmosphere. But it’s not a great tourist point just to walk in, because here you sense, that this is the place for serious work/study and you should behave accordingly.

The books are really available which is not always the case in that kind of library. It is not the biggest but still feels quite important and I found the atmosphere really matching what you would expect from a library.

The most beautiful library of Helsinki in my opinion. The building breaths history!! Anyone can visit and read the books, you should definitely pass by while in Helsinki. Located right by the side of the Senate Square and the Cathedral.

More beautiful in the inside that its outside facade. If you're visiting the city come by and don't miss it.

The National Library of Finland (Finnish: Kansalliskirjasto, Swedish: Nationalbiblioteket) is the foremost research library in Finland. Administratively the library is part of the University of Helsinki. Until 1 August 2006, it was known as the Helsinki University Library. The National Library is responsible for storing the Finnish cultural heritage. By Finnish law, the National Library is a legal deposit library and receives copies of all printed matter, as well as audiovisual materials excepting films, produced in Finland or for distribution in Finland. These copies are then distributed by the Library to its own national collection and to reserve collections of five other university libraries. Also, the National Library has the obligation to collect and preserve materials published on the Internet.
