SkyWheel Helsinki, Observation wheel in Katajanokka, Finland
The SkyWheel Helsinki stands 40 meters tall on the waterfront, featuring 30 climate-controlled gondolas that provide views across the city and harbor area.
Construction of the observation wheel began in 2014 at Katajanokka harbor, where Finnair established its initial flight operations during the 1920s.
The wheel design incorporates Finnish elements through 29 blue and white gondolas, reflecting the national colors visible throughout the Helsinki skyline.
Operating hours extend from 11:00 to 19:00 during weekends and 12:00 to 18:00 on weekdays, with each rotation lasting approximately twelve minutes.
Among the gondolas, one features a traditional Finnish sauna while another VIP cabin includes leather seats and a glass floor for enhanced viewing.
