Panorama of Helsinki
The most famous buildings in Helsinki are the Helsinki Cathedral in the Senate Square in the city center and the pale yellow neoclassical buildings around it. On hundreds of steps, the big dome of the white church stands tall and magnificent. In front of the square, the beautifully shaped and lifelike statue was soaked in the snow by the wind, as if to show people its charm of the year. The South Pier near the Cathedral is a port for berthing large international cruise ships. Presidential Palace, located on the north side of South Pier, was built in 18 14. It was the palace of the czar during the reign of Russia, and 19 17 became the presidential palace after Finland became independent. The Helsinki City Hall building on the west side of the Presidential Palace was built in 1830, and its appearance still maintains its original style. There is an open-air free market in South Wharf Square, where vendors sell fresh fruits and vegetables, fish and flowers, as well as Finnish knives, reindeer skins, jewelry and other traditional handicrafts and tourist souvenirs. It is a must for foreign tourists.
The goddess of the sea-Amanda
The streets in Helsinki are wide, beautiful and clean, with green trees and lush lawns everywhere. The garden in the downtown street is full of flowers. The architectural style of the city is unique, mostly light-colored granite, so it has the reputation of "the capital of Northern Europe and Japan". At the southern end of the city, there is a viewing mountain overlooking Helsinki. Located on six islands in the southern bay of the city, Fort Finland was originally a maritime military fortress, which was built from 1748 to 1788 during the Swedish rule, and 1808 became a Russian garrison. Complex open bases, hidden castles, forts, cannons, stone walls, barracks and courtyards have been built in the centers of Fortress, Wolf Island and Kustangmir Island, which have become very distinctive historical sites in Finland. There is a circular fountain in the South Pier Square in downtown Helsinki, which contains a bronze statue of a naked girl. Facing the sea, she held her chin in her left hand and stared quietly at the Gulf of Finland. She is dignified and beautiful, gentle and refined, and people affectionately call her the goddess of the sea-Amanda. Helsinki Cathedral is a Lutheran Protestant church and one of the most famous buildings in the city. On hundreds of steps, the big dome of the white church stands tall and magnificent. In front of the square, the beautifully shaped and lifelike statue was soaked in the snow by the wind, as if to show people its charm of the year. Sibelius park is hidden deep in the jungle. It is named after a famous musician. In the center of the park, there is a stone monument to sibelius and a large musical brass tube.

Helsinki
If you don't have enough time and energy, I suggest you take the 3T or 3B city tram, which crosses this avenue in a figure-eight route. Not only can you enjoy the scenery outside the window along the way by tram, but you never have to worry about getting lost. First of all, the red granite building on the left is the parliament building (Eduskuntatalo), and there are no tall buildings around, so you can get a glimpse of its magnificent panorama. About 500 meters past the Capitol, you can see a tower-shaped building on the left, which is Kansallismuseo. The interior is divided into three main parts: prehistory, post-history and national poetics. There is a white building opposite the museum, which is the hall (Konsertti ja Kongressita lo) used as the venue for concerts and conferences, and the Helsingin Kaupungin museo is in the south. If you have extra energy, a few steps ahead is the Natural History Museum, where you can get a glimpse of Finland's polar biological landscape, which is quite attractive for us who grow up in subtropical countries.
market

House of lords square
Senate Square, located in the north of Kaupadori Square, is a beautiful square with long days and short nights in summer, which is often the best venue for many open-air concerts or other performances.
You can say that the House of Lords Square is the historical center of Finland and the center of Finnish neoclassicism. It was completed between 18 18 and 1852, and was designed by C.L. Engel. Including the cathedral, the Senate, the Urban Management Bureau, the University of Helsinki and its library, are all representative works of neoclassicism, and the oldest rock building in Hershey is also located here. In the center of the square, there is a statue of Alexander II, who ruled Finland during the Russian Empire. It is a work of 1894 during the Russian Empire.

Temppeliaukion Kirkko is a rock church. A few minutes west of the National Museum, you can reach the Rock Square. The outstanding design of this church is extremely novel and ingenious. It was completed in 1969, and it is the elaborate masterpiece of Smola Nier brothers. Rock church, as its name implies, is built by using the rock highland located in residential street. In order not to destroy the natural landscape, the rock part was dug down and the church was cleverly designed in it. There are concave and convex marks on the wall inside, so when the uninformed people pass by, they really can't guess that this is a church.
Rock church
The top of the church adopts circular design, supported by 100 radial 3-inch copper beams and columns, inlaid with transparent glass, and has excellent lighting.

Ezpunadi Park
Esplanadi Park in Ezpunadi Park As early as the18th century, Finnish princes and nobles liked to stroll in this park, or stroll, or sit in the sun, hoping to "see people" or "be seen". Nadi Park in Aizipu is definitely the best place. This tradition has been passed down for centuries and has not changed.
In fact, this park is just a avenue, which is laid on the south side of the square in front of the Central Station. Because of the dense shade on both sides of the avenue, it has become the most popular walking place in Helsinki.
There are many shops and restaurants on both sides of the park, and the Finnish specialty pottery shop Arabic-Nuuta-Javi and the Finnish Design Center are also on this road. At the western end of the avenue, there is a bronze statue of three Smiths, which is an important local dating place, opposite the large department store Stockmann-Forum.
