Yliopistonkatu (Helsinki)

It was formerly part of Hallituskatu, which at the time led from Mariankatu to Mikonkatu and made a small turn at the Senate Square.

The part of Hallituskatu west of Unioninkatu was renamed as Yliopistonkatu in 1995.

At the middle of the street are Porthania and the administrative building of the university located opposite each other.

At the corner of Vuorikatu was the Heimola house, which was dismantled in the late 1960.

[3][4] Yliopistonkatu continues to the west as the slightly narrower pedestrian street Ateneuminkuja running between the Ateneum and Aikatalo buildings from Mikonkatu to Keskuskatu.
