The cathedral is an active parish with members and services, but visitors may go inside for tours during certain times.

You'll also find the Statue of Alexander II here, who re-established the Diet of Finland and worked towards Finland's independence from Russia. Senaatintori is where the big things happen, including concerts and exhibits. There is plenty to see here and nearby. [Review 10086 overall, 1672 of 2018.]

I spent some time in this square to view the buildings, which had some beautiful architecture. I felt interested in how the Finnish people liked Alexander II for solidifying the use of the Finnish language. Please note, though, that pickpocketing can occur in this square. A pickpocketer stole a wallet from a man in my tour group. If you visit here, be careful to watch your belongings!

This is one of the most beautiful Lutheran churches in my books. While growing up in Helsinki…read moreand living in Kaivopuisto (part of Helsinki) I used to walk past this church several times a week. The wood carved seats, stain glass windows and the high sealing just created a royal feeling when entering this God's house. Had my first wine and bread there and I wanted to get married in this church but I got married in another country. Still to this day when I return to Helsinki, I always go in, sit there a moment and say a prayer. Visiting Johanneksenkirkko is my pilgrimage and I can highly recommend paying a visit to this beautiful architectural building.
