Share the streets with moving cars and pedestrians. Traffic follows mapped road directions, with simulated signals and following distances. Buildings, water and other cars stop your car. Harbour details are photo-guided approximations; see the harbour reference ledger . This is a single-player city playground. Marked bicycles and scooters are available near each starting point.

BUILT ON THE REAL CITY
Helsinki, from Helsinki. × Streets follow surveyed polygons. Most buildings retain municipal 3D geometry and photographic façade textures; the cathedral, its pavilions, Government Palace frontage and five key Kauppatori building frontages have photo-guided geometric reconstructions. Kauppatori uses mapped paving and photo-positioned market canopies. Trams follow a dated HSL route snapshot, including shared streets and crossings.
A prototype, not a survey-exact digital twin. Street terrain is flattened; landmark stair heights, ornaments, landscape inference and some façades remain approximate. Market monuments are simplified silhouettes; rear façades and some source texture gaps remain. Tram rails follow route shapes, not surveyed rail centres. Switches, overhead wires, stop matching, traffic priorities and timings are simplified; this is not live HSL tracking.
