Itinerary
Helsinki has the particularity of having a district called the Design District and in this district, in which you are currently located, there is the majestic Design Museum, which stands right in front of you.
Esplanadi Park, or Esplanadi in Finnish, is a privileged place for the inhabitants of the city. Founded in 1812, it connects the centre of Helsinki to its port, surrounded by beautiful 19th century buildings.
Located at the end of the Esplanade Park, here you are in front of the Swedish Theatre. Since Finland has two official languages, Finnish and Swedish, it was essential to have a Finnish-language theatre, located on the Train Station Square, and a Swedish-language theatre, which stands in front of you.
I would like to take this opportunity to speak to you in the Finnish language, the second official language of the country, along with Swedish.
Built between 1888 and 1893, this Lutheran church called St. John’s Church has a beautiful neo-Gothic style designed by the Swedish architect Adolf Melander.
The Design District is a must-visit area in the Finnish capital, revealing a large number of designer and antique shops, art galleries, museums and fashion stores that make it a trendy area where Finnish identity is everywhere!
As you walk down Fredrikinkatu Street, one of Helsinki’s main streets popular for its many shops, I offer you a little insight into local gastronomy!
Here you are in front of the so-called “old church of Helsinki”. And as its name suggests, it is indeed the oldest church in the center of the capital!
Here we are in the Kamppi district, the central district of Helsinki animated by the large shopping centre in front of you.
This surprising building, located on Narinkkatori Square, is the chapel of Kamppi.
This beautiful building is the Helsinki Museum of Natural History. The building in which it is housed was built in 1913, and at that time it was not a museum at all, but a Russian high school.
A true curiosity of the city, this church is nothing ordinary. Yes, yes, it's a church you see there! We see here only the dome, since it was built directly in the rock!

About Helsinki
Helsinki is Finland's capital on the Baltic, a compact seaside city of neoclassical squares, Art Nouveau streets, design shops and saunas.
The white neoclassical Helsinki Cathedral looks down on Senate Square, and the red-brick Uspenski Cathedral stands on a rocky headland to the east. Carl Ludvig Engel planned the city centre in the early nineteenth century after Finland passed to Russia, and Art Nouveau houses line the streets of Katajanokka and Eira. The Market Square on the harbour front has stalls of fish, berries and crafts, with the Old Market Hall nearby.
Top-ranked sights in Helsinki: Helsinki Senate Square (Senaatintori), Uspenski Cathedral, Helsinki Central Library Oodi.
