I joined the Helsinki Free Walking Tour at 12:00 PM from the Helsinki Cathedral. We learnt about the Senate Square and the buildings around it.
We walked to the Bank of Finland and saw the Johan Vilhelm Snellman Statue. We also saw the House of the Estates.
Then we crossed the Love Bridge and saw the Enso-Gutzeit office building, designed by Alvar Aalto. The façades are clad with white and grey-blue Carrara marble.
We also visited the Uspenski Cathedral, the center of the Finnish Orthodox faith with an ornate exterior on a hilltop.
We strolled into Tove Jansson Park and then headed back. We saw the Helsinki Wheel.
Our next stop was the Market Square. We saw the Supreme Court, Tsarina’s Stone and the Havis Amanda.
We passed by the Espa Stage as we walked across Esplanade and learnt about the Helsinki Design District.
We saw the Elias Lönnrot memorial park and The Old Church of Helsinki.
We passed by Hotel Torni, the tallest building in Helsinki for many years, and our last stop was the Kamppi Chapel.
