Night view
小北在旅游View: Helsinki Cathedral is famous for its white granite exterior and light green dome. Its golden spire and pure white walls can be seen from a distance from the sea. It is an outstanding example of neoclassical style architecture. The church's majestic spire is 62 meters high and is a prominent feature in the city's skyline, providing a different and beautiful view both during the day and at night.
Value for money: Helsinki Cathedral is free to the public, making it a very cost-effective tourist attraction. Visitors can enter freely and admire its exquisite murals, sculptures and huge golden pipe organ without paying any fees.
Richness of scenery: The interior of the church is spacious and bright, and natural light shines into the interior of the church through the huge windows, creating a solemn and sacred atmosphere. In addition, Senate Square in front of the church is also the best place to appreciate neoclassical architecture and Finnish cultural activities.
Education level: Helsinki Cathedral is not only a religious place, but also an important cultural heritage in Finland. It was built in the early 19th century to demonstrate Finland's cultural and religious independence to the Russian rulers of the time. The church is therefore not only a place of religious ceremony but also a symbol of Finnish national pride.
Interesting: Because of its unique architectural style and rich cultural background, Helsinki Cathedral has become an important place for tourists to explore the history and culture of Helsinki. The artistic works and regular concerts and cultural activities held in the church provide visitors with a rich cultural experience and interest.
In general, Helsinki Cathedral is a beautiful, culturally rich and interesting tourist destination, and it is free and open to the public and has a high cost performance.Helsinki

ChiyiGraceI really want to sit on it and experience it. This Ferris wheel is really big. It looks so beautiful at night. If you get up early in the morning, you can still see the sunrise. The way the sun rises complements each other so well. In Helsinki in winter, you can watch the Ferris wheel and quietly drink a cup of coffee and enjoy the night view of the sea. It’s a great enjoyment🥰.Helsinki

关裕年guanyunianThere is an inland park in Helsinki, Sibelius Park, named after the famous Finnish musician Sibelius. There is an inland lake in this place, with beautiful swans and seagulls. There are many visible natural scenery here, which is worth seeing.
The rock church is very elegant and famous for its landscape design level, so many people come here to see the beautiful architecture instead of praying. This is why the rock church is the most famous. Many buildings are the same, as long as the design is thoughtful, it will be recognized by people.Helsinki
