Helsinki, capital of Finland, is the major city of Uusimaa province. Founded on June 12, 1550, this city is quite distinct from other noted historical cities. The overwhelming presence of nature is one of the things that makes it a unique city. Another noticeable difference is that the streets in the city are designed in grid pattern. You can see parks everywhere in Helsinki. Even the most modern localities in this city feature a good number of parks.
Helsinki has got some special attractions for the tourists. Rock Church (Temppeliaukio Kirkko) is a testament to the architectural skills of the people of Helsinki. It is also referred to as the "Church in the Rock". This church is built from rock and is featured by a mind-boggling copper dome. Seurasaari Open-Air Museum is a historical museum that is also well suited to set out on a walk.
Suomenlinna Castle is a gorgeous fortress that can gladden the hearts of all kinds of people. Suomenlinna represents a collection of small islands that guard the opening to Helsinki harbour. You can reach this castle in a cute ferry boat, having wooden seats. National Museum of Finland (Suomen Kansallismuseo) is a recognized natural history museum. The museum building itself is superb and this museum gives you a good understanding about the cultural and commercial background of Finland.
If you want to go for shopping, you can visit the versatile Kauppatori street market. There is a rich variety of shops in this market, which include craft, fruit, and vegetable stalls among others. If you want to get a taste of Finnish food, you can approach one of the stalls which provide an exceptional salmon and potatoes lunch at an affordable price. Gallen-Kallela Museum, Well Park (Kaivopuisto), Yrjonkadun Swimming Hall and Uspenski Cathedral (Uspenskin Katedraali) are among the other places that rank as top tourist destinations in Helsinki.
