Information about the varaamo.hel.fi service
Varaamo is an online service maintained by the City of Helsinki, which enables you to book the City’s public premises and workstations for private use.
The reservation booking system is still being tested, and the pilot version does not yet have all the planned features and functionalities.
During the pilot stage, you can use the service to reserve the premises, workstations, and equipment of the City Library, Youth Department, and the Department of Early Education and Care.
Varaamo is based on the City of Helsinki’s public reservation booking system, which has been implemented as a part of the 6aika - Open and Smart Services project of the six largest cities in Finland.
Development of the Varaamo reservation booking system is part of the City of Helsinki Strategy Programme 2013-2016 (Efficient and functional support services) and its IT programme 2015–2017 (Data interfaces and open urban development).
The objective of the cross-administrative reservation booking system is to make the use of public premises more efficient and accessible and decrease the costs related to the use of the premises by unifying the reservation booking practices of the City.
