Filming permits
Media representatives can film public places and events in Helsinki for editorial purposes without a permit.
If you would like to film inside commercial places or tourist attractions, private areas or commercial events, permission must be requested in advance from the venue itself.
If filming in public spaces restricts the movement of others or requires traffic arrangements, notification must be given to the police (police permit info: tel. +358 9 189 3125). In addition, permission is required from the landowner or property holder.
