Most reviewed Points of Interest & Landmarks in Helsinki
4.0Senate Square(3.345 reviews) - Lovely Area with Beautiful Cathedral Points of Interest & Landmarks
Senate Square was a cool first look at Helsinki. We were with a friend who grew up there and she knew the area and what to see and do. The Helsinki Cathedral has beautiful architecture but isn't overly gaudy. It is clean and well kept as are the grounds and the square. Tourists should make this a stop in their itinerary and then plan to eat at Savotta nearby where you get traditional Finnish food!See more..
4.5Old Market Hall(3.099 reviews) - Vanha Kauppahalli (aka Old Market Hall) Points of Interest & Landmarks • Flea & Street Markets
The Vanha Kauppahalli, or Old Market Hall, is a relaxed, indoor, retail and dining spot and event space and is an ideal lunch spot for the hungry tourist and locals alike. Eating salmon soup or Skagan shrimp (shrimp toast) at the Hall is a must. We loved the food and the easy, friendly atmosphere. You can also browse local delicacies and buy jam, preserves, fish, meat and other Finnish fare to take home as a memento of your trip. The Hall is close to the outdoor market where you can browse further stalls. The building is gorgeous and a lovely photo op too. Watch out for the seagulls!See more..

This centrally located park was planned by the famous architect Carl Ludvig Engel. It was opened in 1818. At the Market Square end of the park lies the historic restaurant Kappeli from 1867. Opposite Kappeli is Espa Stage, which offers summer concerts. Svenska Teatern (Swedish Theatre) is located at the Mannerheimintie end of the park. There are many statues in the park. The most famous is the statue of Johan Ludvig Runeberg located next to the legendary Kämp Hotel. In the summertime, the park is popular for picnics.

4.0Hakaniemi Market(1.222 reviews) - Don't be misled by the photos Saturday: 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks • Flea & Street Markets
Half or more of the photos for this listing are incorrect. They show either the Kauppatori open market or the Vanha Kauppahalli, both of which are adjacent to the harbor. Hakaniemi Market is about a mile to the north. All three places are great fun, in my view. Hakaniemi is the least touristed of them.See more..
4.0Kauppatori(1.095 reviews) - Suosittelen käymään aamulla! Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Flea & Street Markets
Helsingin Kauppatorilla oli paljon tilaa kulkea aamulla, muutama lenkkeilijä ja turisti siellä täällä. Kahvilatelttoja oli paljon, ja kaikissa niissä oli todella hiljaista eli rauhassa sai olla. Suosittelen käymään, mikäli meren ja kalojen haju ei häiritse! Tuotteet olivat jossain teltassa melko hinnakkaita, mutta luultavasti jostain saa myös halvemmalla. Helsinki's Market Square in the morning was very spacious, a couple joggers and tourists here and there. There was a lot of cafe tents and all of them were very quiet so you could be in peace. I recommend to visit the Market Square, if you don't mind the smell of sea and fish! The prices were quite high in one tent, but probably cheaper in some others.See more..
4.5The National Library of Finland(252 reviews) - Beautiful library Saturday: Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings • Libraries
You have to leave bags and coats in a locker room before you enter, which is located on the right after you enter the front door, there are lockers with keys provided for valuables, all free of charge. The library is very beautiful, we spent about an hour wandering around, taking photos, marvelling at the architecture, and looking at book titles. There are some rooms that are for readers only, and you should obviously respect that. Make sure you go upstairs if you can to experience it all from another angle.See more..
