Thinking about sustainability?

Media visits are arranged using sustainable guidelines. This means we use mainly public transportation, prefer companies that are in the Think Sustainably service, and we compensate the carbon footprint from our guests’ flights.

Filming in Helsinki

Media representatives can film in public places and events for editorial purposes without a permit. However, please be prepared to give more information regarding your filming in case someone asks. If you are filming people in a way they can be identified, please ask for their consent. 

If filming in public spaces restricts the movement of others or requires traffic arrangements, notification must be given to the police. In addition, permission is required from the landowner or property holder. 

Drones are permitted in many areas, though there are important restrictions to be aware of. More information on these can be found on the Droneinfo website
