Punavuori, Creative neighborhood in southern Helsinki, Finland
Punavuori is a central residential district in southern Helsinki, stretching between Sepänkatu and Punavuorenkatu streets. The area combines apartment buildings with numerous studios, galleries, and small cultural spaces scattered throughout.
The area developed in the 19th century as an industrial zone where workers lived and rough conditions took hold. Later, these working-class roots shifted into a creative scene that shapes it today.
This area has become a hub for contemporary art and design, with galleries and studios filling the streets. Artists and designers work from here, shaping how the neighborhood feels and functions.
The district is well served by tram and bus lines, with Uudenmaankatu and Iso Roobertinkatu as the main routes. Most galleries and studios are within walking distance, making the area easy to explore on foot.
