- Suresh CCharlotte, North Carolina, United States876 contributionsThis is the best place that I visited out of my two days trip to Helsinki. Rocky walls and metallic looking ceiling makes the difference to ones we normally go as church. We are lucky to witness choir and opera - it was more a practice event, but accoustic, music and the environment was excellent. Very nominal fee for entrance - escape from cold outside as well for a good time that we spent there.Written 13 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Pedro SSao Paulo, SP29 contributionsFinnish natural in a nutshell! The island is an open museum with historical buildings relocated there and a stunning natural landscape—a great place to walk around and taste the old time's lifestyle.Written 8 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Pedro SSao Paulo, SP29 contributionsBeautiful church in a lovely square. It's a must in the city for its surroundings. The new architecture is unique and since it's located in higher ground, there's also a worth view.Written 7 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Herman R4 contributionsWell worth the visit: excellent lunch options, meat, fish, veggie or just a nice cup of coffee with some baked delicacies.
Try the reindeer kebab...Written 18 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Thomas WCopenhagen, Denmark52 contributionsA small walk uphill towards the golden domes. Church looks a bit run down from outside. Inside is better, with much to see.Written 5 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- MohammedRajakGlasgow, UK126 contributionsHappy Place, the open area was a buzz with street performers and street cafe. Made the place more relaxing and entertaining. If I had to paint a picture it would be picturesque.Written 23 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Suresh CCharlotte, North Carolina, United States876 contributionsThis is our first place to visit part of our two day tour in Helsinki. Pretty one - very colorful giving that scandinavian (ok, part of central asian) look. It is a short walk from the Helsinki station. Since it is a central place - we seen political slogans or protests displays - took away the tourism spirit a little. Good one for a photo opportunity.Written 15 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Mikael FHelsinki, Finland23,765 contributionsWe often choose Silja Europa on our return journey from Tallinn. The departure time at 12:30 is very convenient if you stay in a hotel.
The journey time is 3,5 hours. There is enough time to do the 'tax-free' shopping and have a pleasant lunch before arrival in Helsinki at 16:00.
The price for two including a B2 cabin was 66 euros. For that price, you would get two or three Helsinki-Tallinn-Helsinki cruises in the same cabin. One-way trips are always more expensive.
This time, there were more people on board because it had been a Friday departure from Helsinki. Many had still the party going on and the noise levels were high.
Our lunch at Grill House restaurant was luckily calmer. Friendly service and tasty food. It was our best meal on this trip.Written 16 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Mikael FHelsinki, Finland23,765 contributionsWe have visited this museum many times. Sometimes the exhibitions are quite strange like on our visit this time.
On the top 5th floor was a 32-minute long video work by Doug Aitken. The screens were huge and round. It was easy to get dizzy.
On the 4th floor was sound art by Mika Vainio. That was an even stranger experience. Empty rooms with some or no sound.
On the 3rd floor would have been the best exhibition Mad Love by Seppo Fränti but that we saw already in June.
The building itself and the views from the 5th floor were the highlights this time.Written 6 October 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Alex BUbach-Palenberg, Germany85 contributionsThe 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.Written 13 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- RCS3rdWellesley, MA1,107 contributionsMarkets are always fun to visit to check out local made wares as well as local food, this market offered a nice mix of both combined with sit down eateries. The seafood offerings were plentiful. The Hakaniemi market hall was currently under renovation but the market is temporary in a building next door. There were a few vendors set up outside as well. We can imagine that there are more vendors during warmer months.
It was a fun place to grab a bite to eat. We had a delicious shrimp sandwich (it was a large sandwich) and a smoked salmon on rye bread, accompanied with wine. Only one red and one white was available, served by the glass.Written 2 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Cheng5 contributionsThis place is fab. It is small. Do not get us ring. The animals have plenty of spaces. Just that it could be bigger and grander.Written 2 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- AdventureHelsinki, Finland82 contributionsIf you go to the Kauppatori (Outside Market) at this time of year you will find that it is The annual Herring Market. Always held during the first full week in October, the market has been happening just about every year since 1743. I decided to go and have a look this year as it is usually a wonderful atmosphere. Of course this year was slightly different because of the pandemic. Usually lots of little fishing boats are set out along the harbour, selling all flavours of spiced herrings. This year I counted only about 10 fishing boats all clustered at one end of the harbour and this year they did not allow customers to taste the herring before buying. But non the less the atmosphere was although less crowded, very much the same as in past years. The herrings are sold in little plastic tubs weighing about 250 grms, of which the fish content is about 150 grms. The price is usually this year about 8 euros (A bit expensive I think), although they do reductions if you buy 3 tubs, the cheapest I found was 5 euros per tub. They sell all kinds of flavours from garlic herrings to the usual "Glassmaker's herring" to Mustard, onion or dill herrings, I have seen Brandy herring and even coffee spiced herring in the past but this year the flavours seemed quite conservative. There is always a competition to find the best herring between the different sellers or the newest taste. Also you can find sweet Archipelago breads and other spiced preserves. The normal market is always worth a visit at any time of year, well except for winter when there can only be 2 or 3 tents set up in the coldest of weather. Now they were selling all kinds of Autumn products from Sea Blackthorn juice to apples and mushrooms. All in all a nice visit.Written 9 October 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
