Visiting government buildings

While government offices and official premises are not normally open to the general public, open house events are held from time to time.

The Government’s next open house event will take place at the Prime Minister’s official residence, Kesäranta, on 12 September 2026.

Previous open house events at government premises

There was an opportunity to visit the historic House of the Estates in June 2026. On that day, the House of the Estates opened its doors to the public for the first time since its major renovation in 2023–2025. A total of 1,500 people took part in the guided tours during the event.

Most recently, the Government Palace opened its doors to the public in September 2025. Around 1,900 people visited the palace that day. The Government Palace was previously open to the public in 2022. At that time, visitors could also take a tour of the House of the Estates.
