Very modern and brand new looking "old city " centre :) Also here is one of the largest & building-free old square I've ever seen :)

J Kofler

Central square of the city , often decorated or used for events , then really nice, otherwise just big. But good for watching other people. Very nice restaurants nearby!

Mikko Tyllinen

Helsinki Samba Carnaval in June! If you in Helsinki at this time you must visit and enjoy of feast of art , dance and music ! to live through joy of celebrating life and beauty!

Zita Patkos

The Sound of the square is heard every day at 17.49 throughout the year. The best place to hear it is to listen at Emperor Alexander 's statue . The Sound runs for 5 minutes and 18 seconds.

Timo Muttonen

Old city centre of Helsinki. The Main Cathedral , Helsinki University main building, the Goverment Building and old shops innfour sides of the square. In the middle the statue of Emperor Alexander II

A must-see place in Helsinki

Carl Griffin

Wonderful viewpoint with the cathedral towering above you.

The main square in town . Avoid paying money to visit the church , better outside than inside.

Можно полюбоваться огромным Кафедральным собором и памятником Александру II. Очень популярное место для фотографий :)

Аннушка Лукашова

Собор находится на возвышении, от этого кажется ещё более величественным. Учитывая, что Хельсинки не очень богаты на "что посмотреть", советую начинать осмотр города отсюда

Helga Vanchikova

Открывается отличный вид на город , если поднимитесь на ступеньки. Также можно словить достойные виды с чайками

Constantine

Как уже было сказано, вид действительно отличный! Плюс, по выходным здесь устраивают форум: можно попробовать еды, посмотреть ремесла и послушать музыку . Привет из Казахстана!

Анатолий Абрамов

Бесплатная рождественская карусель . Очередь большая, но движется быстро. Очень вкусные бургеры от KOLMON3N

Natalia Pekker

Маленькая и скромная центральная площадь , окруженная зданиями в стиле позднего классицизма (очень популярного в Санкт-Петербурге).

Поволжский ????

Площадь с отличным видом на столичный Кафедральный собор . От центра можно добраться на 4, 6 и 9 трамваях. Всем русским лучей добра и приятного времяпровождения.

Alex Tokarev

главная и красивейшая площадь хельсинки . перед посещением нужно почитать в википедии про Карла Энгеля и про роль Александра II в истории этой страны .

Кашуня

Обязательно посмотреть на голову главной статуи в центре, там рабочее место главной чайки . Если ее нет- быть беде! ????А на 5- ой сверху ступеньке надо желание загадывать! ????????????
