Helsinki Cathedral. The tall green dome of this landmark towers over the cityscape of Helsinki, and at night it shines like a lighthouse by the water. This whitewashed neoclassical cathedral is one of the attractions you must visit. When it was built in the middle of the 19th century, it was called St. Nicholas Cathedral in honor of the Russian Tsar Nicholas I, who was also the Grand Duke of Finland.

 

Temppeliaukio Church. It is safe to say that there are not many churches like this in the world. Temppeliaukki Church was the result of a post-war design competition won by Suomalainen Brothers and was opened in 1969. The building is partially underground and was hewn out of the bedrock that forms the inner walls.

 

Assumption Cathedral. If you're looking for attractions that illustrate Russia's centuries-old cooperation with Finland, this Orthodox cathedral is the best place to start, as it is the largest Orthodox church in Western Europe, perched on a hill in Katajanokka, one of Helsinki's prestigious districts.

 

Linnanmaki. This amusement park has been open for over 65 years, and over a million visitors a year come to ride roller coasters, try their luck in the game rooms or bring their children to all kinds of entertainment shows and attractions.

 

Vintage tram ride. Catch this tram at the Havis Amanda Fountain in the Market Square on a summer weekend for a 20-minute guided tour of almost all of the major attractions in central Helsinki. These historic trams are a hundred years old and although there is no guide on board, you will be provided with a multilingual flyer to let you know what you are looking at.

 

Helsinki Design Museum. Going back to the post-war era, Helsinki is a city that embodies cutting-edge architecture and design. The Design Museum documents Finnish architecture and design over the past 150 years.

 

National Museum of Finland. As you visit the capital, you should take the opportunity to learn about Finland's past. As you make your way through these nine rooms, you can gaze in amazement at silver, jewelry, coins, medals and armor, and see how Finnish culture and society developed in the Middle Ages before becoming part of the Kingdom of Sweden and then the Russian Empire.
