Top-rated places to visit in Uusimaa, Finland
- 4.5 Temppeliaukio Church (8.746 reviews)
-Unique place.
Saturday: 10:00 AM - 11:45 AM, 12:45 PM - 1:15 PM, 2:15 PM - 5:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Architectural Buildings • Religious Sites • Churches & Cathedrals

- 4.5 Sea Fortress Suomenlinna (8.243 reviews)
-Rich in history
Saturday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent 2-3 hours Military Museums • Historic Sites • Military Bases & Facilities
The island is a nice place to explore and to get to know a little about Finnish History. It cost €4.50 for a one way ferry trip and the ride is less then 20 minutes. The ferry leaves once in every 40 minutes. Exploring the island should not take you more then 3 hours. Most of the restaurants there require reservations if you are going there on the weekend or public holidays so be mindful of this if you are planning to have a meal there however there’s a grocery store on the island where you can pick up supplies if you plan to have a picnic here. The church on the island is simple and beautiful and there are a few spots where you can enjoy beautiful sun sets. There’s a lot a beer brewing on the island which I did not visit. Worth the visit especially in the summer if you want a break from Helsinki city. See more..
- 4.0 Helsinki Cathedral (6.071 reviews)
-A Magnificent Work of Architecture in Central Helsinki
Saturday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Churches & Cathedrals
I beg folks to at least pass by this stunning architectural marvel in downtown Helsinki and take a pic or two—need not enter at all. The spacious outdoor plaza area in front of the cathedral is perfect for people-watching, photo-snapping, and relaxing. When I visited later in the evening (around 9pm), the area was completely deserted…while I’d have thought it would’ve felt eerie, the vibe was actually impeccable for me, since any ambient noise and crowds were nonexistent. The opportunities I had for pictures were second to none. Considering it’s free to check out and truly beautiful, I can’t recommend the Helsinki Cathedral enough. It’s safe, clean, and amazing. See more..
- 4.5 Uspenskin Cathedral (Uspenskin Katedraali) (3.916 reviews)
-Fascinating cathedral…
Saturday: 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM Religious Sites
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..
- 4.0 Senate 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..
- 4.5 Old 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..
- 4.0 Helsinki Central Railway Station (2.940 reviews)
-Stunning architecture
Spent < 1 hour Architectural Buildings
Helsinki railway station, designed by a globally recognized architect Eliel Saarinen, is a monumental landmark in the capital of Finland. With its granite walls, clock tower and statues next to the main entrance, the building has been selected as one of the most beautiful railway stations in the world. The railway station has served as a transportation hub and a meeting spot since 1919. Alongside local public transportation, train departures to lapland and Russia leave from the station daily. Cultural events are held there around the year. 240 000 people visit the building every day making it one of the busiest in Finland. See more..
- 4.5 Kamppi Chapel of Silence (2.937 reviews)
-Serene Kamppi chapel
Saturday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 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..
- 4.5 The Esplanadi Park (2.801 reviews)
-The most famous park in Finland
Points of Interest & Landmarks • Historic Walking Areas • Parks
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. During Christmas time, the park is beautifully lit. See more..
- 4.0 Tallink and Silja Line - Cruises (2.190 reviews)
-Enjoyable summer cruise to Tallinn
Spent More than 3 hours Ferries
We escaped the summer heat to the sea and booked a 21-hour cruise to Tallinn onboard Silja Europa. The price was 165 euros for two persons in a Deluxe cabin. Special breakfasts and cabin minibar are included in the price of deluxe cabins and suites. The ship came quite full. The embarkation and disembarkation were slow in the hot tube without air conditioning. We had three meals at the Grill House restaurant: dinner, breakfast, and lunch. The service was very friendly and the food was tasty. It was noticeable that the prices have gone up also here. The sunset arrival in Tallinn was spectacular. It was still warm on the sundeck at 22:00. We completely missed all the entertainment. It is usually better at Helsinki-Stockholm ferries. See more..
- 4.5 Helsinki Tram System (1.802 reviews)
-Helsinki Trams
Trams
If you are planning to visit the Finnish capital, then I recommend the tram in the city of Helsinki for transportation, because it is a very convenient type and environmentally friendly transport. I recommend purchasing an AB-day ticket or for several days, depending on the duration of the visit, especially since it can be used on other modes of transport, including a trip by ferry to Suomenlinna Fortress. Be sure to take route number 3 in Helsinki. You will see those buildings and sculptures that are not in the guidebooks. There are also many interesting shops. See more..
- 4.0 Sibelius Park (1.641 reviews)
-Romantic in the snow…
Parks
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! See more..
- 4.0 Viking Line - Day Cruises (1.500 reviews)
-Pleasant one-way journey to Stockholm
Ferries
From our previous cruise, we got a tax-free voucher. With that, the price for a renovated A4T cabin with a television was only 20 euros. My partner used his 920 boats away and the price dropped still 9,20. With the special breakfasts, the total price was just 54,80. One criticism about the Viking Club is that we cannot collect boats to the same account as in Tallink Silja. Also, the benefits are quite minimal. For 1 euro consumed you get one boat or two boats (at Plus level). The value for one boat is 1 cent. So you get a 1% or 2% discount as a Viking Club member for the money used. We had a pleasant dinner at the Grill restaurant. Also, the special breakfast was very enjoyable. There were not many guests and you could order the warm dish from the menu. The service was friendly everywhere. See more..
- 4.5 Seurasaari Island and Open-Air Museum (1.377 reviews)
-Excellent place
Historic Sites • History Museums
Seurasaari is an excellent place to visit. With an entrance fee you can enter the houses/buildings in the open-air-museum but you can also decide not to pay the entrance fee and just walk around and see the buildings outside. There's lot's to see. Somewhat half of the island is recreation area and you can sit by the sea on rocky waterfronts. There are some cafe's and museum shop too. Lovely an beautiful location and easy to travel from the city center by bus or tram. See more..
- 4.0 Hakaniemi 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..
- 4.5 Ateneum (1.105 reviews)
-Two new feminine exhibitions
Saturday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Art Museums
This property is temporary closed See more..
- 4.0 Kauppatori (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..
- 4.0 Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma (1.093 reviews)
-ARS22 - Living encounters
Saturday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Art Museums

Kiasma building was designed by the American architect Steven Holl and opened to the public in 1998. At Kiasma there's also a museum shop and café. See more..
- 4.5 Porvoo Old Town (1.026 reviews)
-Incredibly picturesque
Saturday: 12:00 PM - 2:00 AM Points of Interest & Landmarks
If you are an art enthusiast and like to paint and draw you should plan to spend some time here. It is such a picturesque town that you can spend hours drawing and painting or photographing the beautiful houses, streets, river, nature, and environs of Porvoo. You can also buy some real art (and even the beautiful vintage Arabia ceramic ware) in a number of small and unique antique shops. I also recommend visiting the “Art Factory Porvoo” to see some interesting exhibition of contemporary Finnish artists. To reach the Factory you walk on the pleasant promenade along the Porvoo River for 10-15’ then cross a bridge until you reach Läntinen Aleksanterinkatu 1. See more..

- 4.0 Linnanmäki Amusement Park (790 reviews)
-Always leave happy!
Amusement & Theme Parks
Today we had visited as Hevisaurus played at the Peacock Theatre inside Linnanmäki. As always, we go check out some of the free rides (for the younger ones) as the boy loves them and he's too small for most things. Had a bit of fun before the concert. The theatre itself was nowhere near as small as I expected. Only though 200 people or so would be going...it was closer to 600! We had an amazing time. This band is just fantastic for the kids. Being a big metal fan, I loved it of course. They're great with the kids in the audience and put on a great 60/70 mins. The theme park itself is a tad expensive for some things but expected with the rising energy costs etc. If you're here on holiday, I'd say go. If you live here....you've got all summer so try get there. See more..
- 4.0 Design Museum (615 reviews)
-Interesting Nordic design
Saturday: 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Speciality Museums • Art Museums
We have visited many times at this museum. There is a permanent exhibition but every time there is something new to see. Alongside the known Finnish design, the exhibition showed this time the work of Nordic designers from the 1940s to the present day. In the basement was a striking exhibition showing works using Schick Toikka fonts. See more..
- 4.5 Natural History Museum (532 reviews)
-Good of you are interested in animals and history of evolution
Natural History Museums
The museum mostly shows stuffed/ conservated animals. The animals are nicely prepared and the museum tries to show them in their natural habitat and in their natural environment. The visit in total took us about 2h. I believe if you have small children it can take longer. The price is a little high for what the museum shows I would say. Probably I am a little biased, since we have a similar museum where I live and it costs less, yet if even larger. But still, if you like seeing animals and are interested in history of evolution, then it's worth a visit. See more..
- 4.5 Central Library Oodi (525 reviews)
-The library all others aspire to
Spent 1-2 hours Libraries
A library? How on Earth can a library be a top attraction in a modern metropolitan city? If you have to ask, then you’ve never visited the Helsinki Public Library. This is the most thoughtfully designed public community space I’ve ever seen. It draws you in immediately and makes you feel welcome, no matter where you’re from, no matter what you are looking for. Start by taking the escalators to the top floor, walk upslope to get a full feeling of the inner spaciousness, then step outside on the balcony to read in the sun or just admire the view of the plaza and Music Centre. Walk down the spiral staircase to explore quiet spaces or visit the coffee shop on the ground floor. Honestly, if I lived in downtown Helsinki, I would spend all my spare time in this endlessly fascinating space. See more..
- 4.5 Heureka (427 reviews)
-Worth the visit
Saturday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Science Museums

- 4.5 Cathedral of Porvoo (406 reviews)
-Famous, popular and very nice
Architectural Buildings • Religious Sites
Porvoo is also the center of the Swedish-speaking diocese from 1920s years. It has a very important role in the history of the independent Finland: Tsar Alexander I of Russia took an oath to uphold the constitution in this church. It’s very popular wedding venue, Mika Häkkinen’s wedding ceremony was held here, too. We saw this cathedral, but couldn’t go into, because of a wedding. But we walked around it. It’s rustic and beautiful! Next to the cathedral is a bell tower and a wooden church from 1740. See more..

- 3.5 Serena Water Park (255 reviews)
-An old water park that needs a new beginning so badly
Spent More than 3 hours Water Parks
We did have a lot of fun because we don't always go to water parks. "The Crazy Race", "The Crazy River" or the "Black Hole" are cool and there is a lot to do. However I can't give five stars to a park that clearly needs a renovation and is unpleasant in many ways. Several infrastructures look and are so old. The pavement outside is just awful and hurt your feet. No queues for people who have purchased their tickets in advance, so you basically wait in the queue as if you had not purchased nothing in advance. Some slides are so old that you can see cracks and are super slow because they're not slippery anymore. The stairs to the top of some slides are in an old metal and not really inviting. Really they need to make it new and pretty again. In that sense it is super expensive for what it is. See more..
- 4.5 The 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..

place worth visiting, beautiful nature and forest surrounds these old castle ruins. Admission to visit ruins was from adults 7€, parking was free. Parking was about 400meters from ruins, but there was a really nice path from parking to castle area. See more..
- 4.0 Tikkurila Railway Station (82 reviews)
-Nice little station
Spent < 1 hour Public Transportation Systems
The station is nice, well served with restaurants and bars. Even a small market. The only problem I had is to find someone working there that actually can give train information, but that didn't affect how nice the station is. For new passengers: your ticket will show which wagon (couch) number is yours and since the train will stop there for few minutes, it will be better if you can locate where your wagon is going to stop to be just in from of it and board the train faster. On every lane there is a board hanging from the ceiling at the platform. That sign will indicate where your couch number is going to be and give you a reference letter (A, B, C, D....). You just need to find the platform zone with that letter. Btw...the overnight train trip is a blast, specially if you have kids. Have fun. See more..
