High-res textured model of Helsinki
The reality mesh model
This model allows you to examine Helsinki as it was in summer 2017 and visit places that you might not think to go to otherwise. You can explore the outer islands of Helsinki or find your home building, for example. The model is based on aerial photographs and includes all the stationary objects in the city at the time of photography, such as buildings, cars and ships. The only thing you need to view the model is an up-to-date browser.

The Helsinki city information model
The city information model allows you to view not only the city’s buildings and information on them, but also the city’s terrain model. Thanks to the terrain model, buildings are presented at their correct elevation. You can search for buildings by address or properties. Clicking on a building allows you to access its property data, such as the year of construction and number of floors. You can view buildings textured or untextured. For viewing the terrain model, you can choose between an open street map view and a view based on aerial photographs.
Model download as OBJ
Download the model as open data from a map view here. Go to Layers and select 3D City Models -> Triangle Mesh Model -> Triangulation mesh model, obj (2017). Then click on the map to download the part of the city model. OBJ models can be imported into Rhino as textured meshes. L in the name of the model stands for the level of detail.
The same model parts can be downloaded over this site as well (but no nice preview):
