Venue

Welcome to Helsinki, the capital of Finland – the land of a thousand lakes that is covered by forests by over 71%. Did you know that Finland has been ranked the happiest country in the world for the 7th consecutive time by UN World Happiness Report (2024) and that our tap water is amongst the highest quality in the world?

WoodBuild Finland 2025 was held at Pier 4, located on Katajanokan laituri. Where should we go next?

Travel and accommodation

You can reach Helsinki easiest by plane to Helsinki-Vantaa Airport (HEL). Helsinki also has ferry connections with Estonia, Sweden, Latvia and Germany.

Helsinki and its surrounding cities have accommodation possibilities to cater to all wishes. Our recommendation list would be so long, we have decided not to put it here, but you may want to take a look at the hotel located on the same wooden building as the seminar and dinner!

Pier 4, Katajanokan Laituri

A landmark wooden building on the Helsinki waterfront, Katajanokan laituri, houses a 164-bed hotel Sokos Hotel Pier 4.

The seminar as well as the get-together dinner are held in the premises of the completely unique building representing modern Finnish architecture.

Solo Sokos Hotel Pier 4 is located in Katajanokka, Helsinki, at the address Katajanokanlaituri 4, within an easy walking distance from the city center.

Frequent public transport connections are ran from the airport, bus and train stations. You can see public transport routes and ticket information from HSL website.
