Some of the biggest decisions in the history of Finland were made in Tamminiemi. The official residence of Presidents Risto Ryti, C. G. E. Mannerheim, and Urho Kekkonen offers visitors a glimpse behind the curtains of power and politics.

Tamminiemi Villa is located in Meilahti, adjacent to Seurasaari Museum Island, on a beautiful park estate that used to be President Urho Kekkonen's official residence during his period in office from 1956 to 1981. In those days, it was known as the center of Finland's political and governmental life. Tamminiemi is furnished as it was in Kekkonen's time in the 1970s.
