Esplanade Park

The park is 400 meters long. Tall trees (mainly shady lindens) are planted around the perimeter and beautiful flower beds are placed.

Since 1867, the famous restaurant Kappeli has been operating on the territory of the park with a stage for performing artists who entertain visitors to the Esplanade daily. Under the shade of park trees there are many monuments to historical figures. For example, in the center stands a statue of the author of the words of the national anthem – Johan Ludwig Runeberg.

Another property of the park is the Swedish Theatre, built in 1966. Its appearance has not changed to this day due to the careful restoration of the facade and the preservation of the interior.

The Esplanade is open around the clock. Entry is free.
