Helsinki Express

Walking tour in Helsinki
Duration: 1hr45

The Senate Square and its surroundings form a unique and cohesive example of Neoclassical architecture.
The square is dominated by four buildings designed by Carl Ludvig Engel between 1822 and 1852.

Helsinki City Hall and City Hall Quarter
on the southern side of the Senate Square is the City Hall Quarter, which dates back originally to the 1700s. The buildings were later updated by C. L. Engel in the Empire style to fit in with the Senate Square. Until the early years of the 1900s, the City Hall Quarter was the centre of commerce and social life in Helsinki. The buildings in this area are today mainly occupied by the City of Helsinki.

The Old Market Hall alongside the Market Square has been a meeting place for Helsinki's food aficionados and a popular tourist attraction since it first opened in 1889. In addition to traditional treats, you can also find delicacies from Lapland.

Havis Amanda.
Designed by Ville Vallgren and built in Paris in 1906, this famous bronze fountain was erected besides the Market Square in 1908. According to Vallgren, the girl's figure symbolises Helsinki and its rebirth.

Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral.
Completed in 1868 in the Katajanokka district of Helsinki, the Uspenski Cathedral is the largest orthodox church in Western Europe. With its golden cupolas and redbrick
facade, the church is one of the clearest symbols of the Russian impact on Finnish history.

Temppeliaukio Church
Quarried out of the natural redrock, Temppeliaukio Church is one of Helsinki's most popular tourist attractions. The interior walls of the church are created naturally by the rock. In addition to holding religious services, the church is a popular venue for concerts due to its excellent acoustics and cosy interior.
