It is impossible not to experience the Cathedral when visiting Helsinki. Spend a little time going inside as well, it's worth it. If the weather is nice you can sit and relax on the stairs looking out on the square. It's very nice!

In a very big square with the two University's buildings at right and left sides and the monument in the middle of the square, the Lutheran Cathedral of Helsinki seems gorgeous! The white coulour and the fact that is builded in a higher level than the square , made the Cathedral immprassive.Inside i was a little bit dissapointed. But is... More

This is not one of your ornate Catholic cathedrals, but a haven of piety, wonderful architecture and beauty. Impressive from the outside and the inside, this is another "must-see" in Helsinki.

I am disabled and no effort is made to display the sign for the disabled entrance, irritating. Fortunately I had been guided by another traveler on Trip adviser. The crypt is magnificent one of the best, I've seen. the massive organ is impressive. It didn't move me like the rock church, a personal view not a criticism.

Loved the different architecture that you don't really see in the new world. Nice domes, very simply decorated inside which made it nice to look at. They also had a nice little Easter egg exhibition down at the krypt which was alright... They had different types of Easter eggs.

I visit the cathedral every time I visit Helsinki. It's just fun to see and photograph. In the summer, go in the evening 10pm or so and there are nearly no tourists and you can get some nice dusk shots.
