TOP SIGHTS of HELSINKI FINLAND - Walking Tour of The City!

top sights of Helsinki

In this video we continue exploring the main city centre of Helsinki. Heading out from the Helsinki Cathedral, walking along the Esplanade and past Stockmanns - the largest department store in the Nordic countries. We walk through the iconic granite train station of Helsinki with it’s clock tower and torch bearer statues (complete with giant face masks during the global Covid19 pandemic).

We make our way over to Kansalaistori Square which is a modern and open space right outside the Central library building which is an incredible building filled with multiple levels and is open to the public. We spent a whole day during our time in Finland to work from their public work area within the library. After a quick coffee sitting in the sunshine we make our way across from Kansalaistori square and over to the Parliament building.

This city is so clean, modern and full of unique areas that we stumbled upon as we made our way over to the waterfront promenades along Eira, Ullanlinna & Kaivopuisto. We found a Moomin shop (The Moomins were originally written in Finland back in the 50’s) in a cute little tucked away area of shops and restaurants and made our way through the design district in Helsinki which is a cool part of the city. We fell in love with a little cafe there called ‘Relove’ which had amazing food and coffee on one side and a whole section of re-loved items for sale on the other. We came back to this shop a few times during our time in Helsinki too!

Upcoming videos!

Join us next time as we hop on a boat and explore a couple of islands in the Helsinki archipelago including the UNESCO world heritage site Suomenlinna. We also stumble across an unexpected slithery friend!

————————————————
A British couple from just outside London, England. We got married in 2018 and decided instead of a honeymoon we’d travel the world together for a year. We saved money and travel points, quit our jobs, rented our house out and boarded a one way flight. We started this Youtube channel to share our experiences with friends, family and anyone who plans to travel to the places we’re visiting. We leave TKT tips/facts on our vlogs and blogs to give information that we wish we’d had before visiting. We hope you find our content useful :)
