As you walk along the Aleksanterinkatu street in Helsinki, you surely won’t miss the grand building where the department store Aleksi 13 is located.
Take a moment to step inside and have a look at the foyer and some of the interesting doors inside. It’s like stepping back in time!
Perhaps you would like a ride in the old elevator?
Or are you up for some stair climbing?
Oh where might this door take you?
But what’s that I see? Shoes galore awaits!
To read more of the building and see it from the outside (in summer sunshine), have a look at one of my old posts here.

Inside it’s quite your regular department store but the secret is to use this staircase to get a feel of the days bygone 🙂

I do love that staircase … especially as an alternative to an elevator 🙂

Nice ones. I love old elevators – though I do sometimes get nervous with some of the strange noises they make 🙂

Same here – on both points 😉
I’m also partial to a nice winding staircase. The doors are pretty classy too!

How lovely to see some Nordic ( Pohjoismaat?) doors. There seems to be a clean style to the design, thanks for sharing, very interesting to see, they are very attractive.
