Sibelius Park, Uusimaa, Finland
4.0 (1.641 reviews) Spent Ranking #34 in Helsinki Parks
Romantic in the snow…
Ok, so maybe I got lost in the moment, but trudging through the deep snow with my wife to get to the Sibelius Park and then the monument felt a little like something out of a fairytale or rom-com movie. Granted, it’s just a park near the water, and it has one interesting monument, but under the blue sky, in the freezing snow, this had a really romantic & enchanting feel to it and the fact there were only 3 or 4 other people at the monument meant it almost felt like our own private park! It might not be a must-see in Helsinki but if you have the time to take a quick tram in this direction I can highly recommend it, especially in the winter…seeing loads of kids sledding down hills was also super amusing! And if you get the chance to go to Cafe Regatta afterwards, do it, just a couple of mins walk away!

Great little gem
This park is easily found and has on street parking if you are driving. It is handicap friendly. The central sculpture is surrounded by patio, lawn, and plantings. From a distance the monument appears to be an abstract mountain range. On close inspection, the peaks are various size tubes that reflect the sound of those visiting. A bust of the composer is on an adjacent wall. Not only is the design stunning but it is a wonderful outdoor, green space for the whole family to enjoy.
