Helsinki is a city of classical beauty and modern civilization. It not only embodies the romantic sentiment of ancient European cities, but also is full of the charm of an international metropolis. At the same time, it is a garden city of urban architecture and natural scenery. In summer, Helsinki has 20 hours of light, so it is also known as the "day city in the north" and "the capital of the sun".

The most famous building complex in Helsinki is the Helsinki Cathedral in the Senate Square in the city center and the light yellow neoclassical buildings around it. Hundreds of steps on the white church dome towering, extraordinary. In front of the square, the beautiful and lifelike statue was bathed in snow by the wind, as if to show people its charm of that year. The south pier near the cathedral is a port for large international cruise ships. The presidential palace on the north side of the South Wharf was built in 1814. It was the Czar's Palace during the reign of Czarist Russia, and became the presidential palace after Finland's independence in 1917. Helsinki City Hall building on the west side of the presidential palace was built in 1830, and its appearance still retains its original style. There is an open-air free market on the south pier square, where traders sell fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, fresh flowers, Finnish knives, reindeer skins, jewelry and other traditional crafts and tourist souvenirs. It is a must for foreign tourists to visit. Helsinki's streets are wide, beautiful and clean, full of green trees and lush lawns. The garden in the middle of the downtown street is full of flowers. The buildings in the city are of unique style, mostly made of light colored granite, so they are known as "the capital of Japan in northern Europe". At the southern end of the city, there is an astronomical platform, from which you can overlook the appearance of Helsinki. Finland fort, located on six islands in the southern Gulf of the city, was originally a naval military fortress. It was built during Swedish rule from 1748 to 1788 and became a Russian garrison in 1808. In the central area of the fortress, wolf island and kustanmier Island, there are complex open bases, dark castles, battery, cannons, stone walls, barracks and courtyards, which have become the most distinctive historical sites in Finland. There is a round fountain in the south pier square in downtown Helsinki, in which there is a bronze statue of a naked girl. Facing the sea, she held her cheek in her left hand and gazed quietly at the Gulf of Finland. She is graceful, gentle and elegant. People affectionately call her the goddess of the sea - Amanda.

Helsinki Cathedral is a Lutheran Protestant church and one of the most famous buildings in the city. Hundreds of steps on the white church dome towering, extraordinary. In front of the square, the beautiful and lifelike statue was bathed in snow by the wind, as if to show people its charm of that year.

Sibelius park is hidden deep in the jungle. It is named after a famous musician. In the center of the park, there is a stone Sibelius Monument and a large musical brass pipe. Every June, there is "Sibelius Festival", which centers on the park and holds various concerts for 7-10 days.
