The Cathedral is just a 10 minutes walk from Esplanaden. You have quite a nice view from there. The Cathedral really is beautiful.

It has just been renovated and the golden domes an sparkling... The church is on top of hill watching over Helsinki. You can see the protestant city cathedral from the yard.

Impessive architecture, peaceful and beautiful inside, the Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral is there to remind, that Russia passed from Finland.Really is worthwhile to visit it ! Uspenski Cathedral is located near tte harbour, City Hall, Kauppatori square and Stockmanns shopping centre.A small but beautiful park is next to the church.

This impressive building can be seen from many places in Helsinki in all its glory. It's absolutely worth a visit just to get up close and to see the inside. But it's an incredible view from afar too.

Very interesting looking cathedral but sadly closed when I arrived. It is not too far from the harbour area and market.

This is a wonderful old orthodox church, with an impressing and authentic atmosphere inside, and a wonderful panoramic view around the town of Helsinki outside. Definitely a must if you are in Helsinki!

Climb some stairs and find the doors closed. Many days it can happen. Better take pictures from the harbour and cross the bridge of love!
