[© OpenStreetMap contributors](https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright), ODbL 1.0 1. ## Kaisaniemi Park In Kaisaniemi, north-east of the Central railway station. It has a bad reputation of a place where you might get assaulted, however in the daytime it's not more dangerous than any other place in Helsinki. The park has facilities for playing football (soccer) and tennis and is home to some events in the summer, most notably the morning of first of May and the festival "Maailma kylässä" in late May. It also holds Helsinki University's Botanical Garden (entrance from Kaisaniemenranta on the northern side). 60.17461, 24.94438 · [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=60.174607&mlon=24.944383#map=17/60.174607/24.944383) · [Wikivoyage note](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Helsinki) · [place page](/place/plc_XVZR0WMMBD6NR71SP1WG9G99FA) Audio: not available — OpenVibe.AI has no speech-synthesis API today. 2. ## The National Library of Finland The beautiful National Library has books all the way from the early 19th century accessible for everyone (and books older than this are kept away from the public). The picturesque building with its glamorous stone columns is definitely worth a visit. 60.17034, 24.95032 · [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=60.17034&mlon=24.950318#map=17/60.17034/24.950318) · [Wikivoyage note](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Helsinki) · [place page](/place/plc_894DFK6BZ290DB6XN2XQ6HVJJ6) Audio: not available — OpenVibe.AI has no speech-synthesis API today. 3. ## Lutheran Cathedral The unofficial symbol of the city, this striking white cathedral dominates the central Senate Square. Based on designs by Carl Ludvig Engel and completed in 1852, the cathedral has been refurbished, and the 12 Apostles are on the roof looking down at the world below. While entry is no longer free, one might argue that the building is more impressive from the outside anyway. 60.17034, 24.95225 · [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=60.17034&mlon=24.95225#map=17/60.17034/24.95225) · [Wikivoyage note](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Helsinki) · [place page](/place/plc_2S48QNRFVA5TJXCHC8D2W83VP6) Audio: not available — OpenVibe.AI has no speech-synthesis API today. 4. ## Bank of Finland Museum A museum about money and banking, as the name reveals. 60.17034, 24.95328 · [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=60.17034&mlon=24.95328#map=17/60.17034/24.95328) · [Wikivoyage note](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Helsinki) · [place page](/place/plc_2S48QNRFVA5TJXCHC8D2W83VP6) Audio: not available — OpenVibe.AI has no speech-synthesis API today. 5. ## Helsinki City Museum The museum covers a whole series of old buildings around Helsinki, but the centrepiece is the (short) street of Sofiankatu itself, carefully restored as a replica of the 1930s. 60.16853, 24.95212 · [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=60.168535&mlon=24.95212#map=17/60.168535/24.95212) · [Wikivoyage note](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Helsinki) · [place page](/place/plc_F8T42EKQVGK03X253FVWDMZM4C) Audio: not available — OpenVibe.AI has no speech-synthesis API today. 6. ## Paradox Museum Helsinki An international museum for the whole family that plays with optical illusions, with over 40 different exhibitions. 60.16842, 24.94958 · [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=60.16842&mlon=24.94958#map=17/60.16842/24.94958) · [Wikivoyage note](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Helsinki) · [place page](/place/plc_84T1VS7SGR7QDG55A5Z29M90HD) Audio: not available — OpenVibe.AI has no speech-synthesis API today. 7. ## Uspenski Cathedral A classical and prominent onion-domed Russian church, the largest Orthodox church in Western Europe, Uspenski Cathedral serves Finland's small Orthodox minority. The name comes from the Russian uspenie, from the Dormition (death) of the Virgin Mary. The five domes are topped with 22-carat gold, and some of the icons within are held to be miraculous. 60.16830, 24.95963 · [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=60.168304&mlon=24.95963#map=17/60.168304/24.95963) · [Wikivoyage note](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Helsinki) · [place page](/place/plc_53ZYZZH686BNYTRXMTXXK9VEC6) Audio: not available — OpenVibe.AI has no speech-synthesis API today. ## Use this route [Sign in](/auth/login?next=%2Froutes%2Frte_WG7RD2XNVB1TS1WRTY0ZM63CV2) to add this route to a trip.
