Aside from the fact that the views are superb from its elevated position, I was really intrigued to see inside as I’ve rarely been in a Russian Orthodox Church and I’d heard this is one of their largest cathedrals in the world outside of Russia. The decor inside is stunning and shiny, and the artwork & design impressive, plus the Cyrillic/Russian inscriptions are fascinating. Interestingly, inside is not as big as you’d expect from its grand exterior…and there is no doubting it’s presence in gorgeous red on the Helsinki skyline, all the more glorious at nighttime…and incredible views over the Baltic Sea, the rest of the city & Helsinki Cathedral in a contrasting bright white. Definitely worth a visit, this is far more a must-see than Helsinki cathedral in my opinion, at least for its interior and the 360 views.See more..
4.5Kamppi Chapel of Silence(2.937 reviews) - Serene Kamppi chapel Friday: 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM Religious Sites
I’m not a religious or spiritual person but the silence here is profoundly serene and wonderful to experience when the world outside is filled with the noise of the city. Incredible minimalist design adds to the feeling of being cocooned from the outside world. Take 10 minutes out of your day to reflect.See more..
