Across 14 stops—from cultural landmarks like Ateneum, Svenska Teatern, and National Museum to the Senate Square, Helsinki Cathedral, and the House of Nobility, with Vermo's grand racecourse and secretive private clubs weaving through the tale—discover how inheritance and social rivalries physically sculpted the city under summer midnight sun or cozy winter dusk.
