The city lies on the Baltic Sea coast in the Gulf of Finland, this unique, attractive and interesting city, numerous islands and peninsulas make the city a varied one.

We should certainly visit the famous cathedral, the university and government buildings, the Finlandia Palace, the Parliament, the Rocky Temple, the Temple Shrine, and the Sibelius Monument. The sights of the city can be discovered in two or three days, and there is much to help with. Very detailed program listings are found on the tourist points. One of the most prominent attractions in Helsinki is the white evangelical cathedral, which appears from the sea.

The Uspenski Cathedral is the largest orthodox church in Western Europe, with its interior luscious icons. Its Byzantine-Slavic style is characterized by Russian statues and icons, as well as the golden onion dome.

The Sofiankatu street is heated and is free of ice throughout the year. The beginning of the street is recalled in the 1800s, covered with round stones. Street signs are three – Swedish, Russian and Finnish. The street is divided into three stages, in the style of three different eras. Opened 365 days a year and 24 hours a day. One of the stages evokes the world of the last century. Street pit, fire pit, gas light, rectangular enclosures.

The Sibelius Monument is one of the most remarkable monuments in Finland. The wavering set of welded empty steel tubes, like the essence of Sibelius music, is remembered by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. The memorial built in 1967 is 24 tons. It consists of 600 steel tubes measuring 8 to 10 meters long. The smaller version is also found in UNESCO’s Paris center. The most famous sight in Helsinki is the Temppeliaukio cliff church. In the huge rock boulder, they actually hit the temple space and then covered it with a flat dome made of glass and copper. Its walls form rustic rocky pink-gray granite.Would you like to buy traditional Finnish dishes or local artisanal items? Kappatori is the perfect place to do all this.

The most famous market in Helsinki is at the entrance to Esplanadi Park at the Southern Harbor.We can buy hornbeam or wood carvings here, but we can taste the so-called meat pie, that is, the original Finnish meaty pie. From the open-air market you have an incredible view of Helsinki’s harbor and the Baltic Sea, and even visitors can take a ferry to Suomenlinna.
