On 12 May, the City of Helsinki revealed that its Culture and Leisure Committee has made a decision to offer asylum seekers discounts to the municipality’s museums and sports venues. More specifically, those who have applied for (and received) temporary protection will have discounted access to the Helsinki Art Museum and Hakasalmi Villa as well as to the city’s swimming pools and gyms.
To prove that they are eligible for the discounted fee, refugees must present their residence card or a certificate confirming that they have received asylum or temporary protection. The City of Helsinki lists the normal and discounted rates for the cultural and leisure services are as follows:
