Popular seaside park
Kaivopuisto is one of the oldest parks in the city. The seaside neighborhood is also home to old villas and several embassies. It is known as a diplomat district. At the highest point of the park is the yellow Ursa observatory from 1926. The vast lawns are popular areas to sunbathe or to have picnics. However, gooses have invaded them. In the summertime, many concerts are held in the park. Besides the many cafes, you can visit Kaivohuone, a legendary restaurant, and nightclub dating from the 1830s.

Embassy area
The most exquisite place to live in Helsinki is by the park among the many embassies. Architectural styles of most periods over the last 150 years are present, among the oldest the wooden villas, the Mannerheim museum among them and Art Nouveau apartment buildings. The park itself is a large area with the Observatory on top of the hill and steep rocks facing the sea. A good location for the monument of Finnish born explorer Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld, who with the steam ship Vega made the first ever journey through the Northeast Passage along the Arctic Sea all the way to the Bering Straits already in 1878-79.
