Savoy-teatteri

Savoy Theatre is one of the distinctive historic theatres in central Helsinki. Opened in 1937 as a cinema, it now operates as an international guest theatre known for concerts, dance, musical theatre and other stage productions. Its 735-seat auditorium retains the elegant character of its era, while Art Deco details give events a more intimate atmosphere than that found in large arenas and multipurpose venues.

The main auditorium is designed to provide clear views of the stage and accommodate a wide range of performances, supported by modern theatre, lighting and sound technology. Visitors also have access to a cloakroom and hospitality areas offering drinks and light refreshments before performances and during intervals, while wheelchair spaces are available in the stalls.

The theatre is located at Kasarmikatu 46-48, Helsinki, Finland, at the corner of Kasarmikatu and Eteläesplanadi, directly beside Esplanadi. Taxis can drop off and pick up passengers immediately in front of the theatre, while several public underground car parks are available in the surrounding streets. Kauppatori is the nearest tram stop; for broader information on transport connections across Helsinki, see the city guide further down the page.

Helsinki, an elegant capital on the Baltic coast, stands out as one of Northern Europe’s most appealing destinations for concerts and sporting events. The city blends modern urban energy with a relaxed atmosphere, making it easy to pair an evening event with daytime exploration. With a well-developed range of restaurants, bars, and accommodation across different price points, trips are straightforward to plan and genuinely enjoyable.

A major advantage is the reliable infrastructure and easy navigation: the public transport network is managed by HSL (Helsingin seudun liikenne) and includes trams, buses, the Helsinki Metro, commuter trains, and ferry services. Whether you arrive by train at Helsinki Central Railway Station (Helsingin päärautatieasema) or fly into Helsinki Airport / Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, getting to the main arenas and stadiums is quick and intuitive, often without needing multiple transfers. It’s also convenient that the same ticket can be used across several modes of transport, so moving between your accommodation, the city centre, and event venues is effortless.

If you have time before or after the show, Helsinki delivers an excellent “tourist bonus”: stroll around Senate Square (Senaatintori) and Market Square (Kauppatori), stop by Esplanadi, or explore design districts filled with galleries and boutiques. For sea views, there are waterfront promenades and nearby islands reachable by boat, and many visitors choose a trip to the Suomenlinna sea fortress. If you’re in the mood for a slower pace, paths along the Vantaanjoki and the city’s parks provide a calm counterpoint to an exciting evening programme.
