Description:

Vibrant Helsinki is packed with attractions and historic sites. Discover the best of them on this comprehensive walking tour. From bustling squares to striking religious buildings and cultural museums, it’s all here underneath the city’s charming Art Nouveau façade.

Begin your tour at what's arguably the city’s most symbolic building—the iconic neoclassical cathedral. Gaze up and admire the large green dome atop the pure white building, which overlooks majestic Senate Square. Take a stroll around lively Market Square, with its seemingly endless rows of stalls selling local delicacies as well as handicrafts and souvenirs.

Continue your leisurely walk to the imposing Uspenski Cathedral, which commemorates Emperor Alexander II of Russia, the sovereign of Finland in the 19th century. This magnificent Eastern Orthodox church is home to several valuable iconostases—ornate walls and stands decorated with religious sculptures and paintings.

Farther along, see recognizable landmarks like the distinguishing tower clocks of the granite Central Station and the Parliament House with its 14 Corinthian columns. Your final stop is at Temppeliaukio Church, where you can marvel at how the interior, shaped and carved from solid rock, helps to create the church's famed acoustics.
