Viena Cultural Tourism

Cultural trips
History
Practical advice

You too can visit Viena! Thanks to the Arhippa Perttunen Foundation, you too can experience the enchantment of the Kalevala song lands. You can follow in the footsteps of Elias Lönnrot and other folklore collectors.You can photograph the same landscapes as did Finnish photographer I.K. Inha one hundred years ago. Discover the uniqueness of Karelian wooden architecture. Admire the poetic views, which threw the Karelianists, late 19th and early 20th century artists, into states of ecstacy and wonder. Enjoy the silence and experience the peacefulness of the natural environment. Meet rune singers and traditional artists who possess skills and knowledge passed down from generations.

Europe no longer has many indigenous cultures. In Viena, an indigenous culture - the one that gave the world Kalevala poetry - still survives.
