We almost skipped this, but are really glad we didn't. It was the farthest site on our list for the day, and we were tired, but it's an extremely unique and lovely church. We walked there from Esplanadi and it was about 25 minutes. The church was free to enter and there were musicians playing really relaxing music, so we just sat and chilled while enjoying the unique architecture. After about 20 minutes we left and walked on top of the church on the rock structure it was built into. Pretty cool visit.
2. Kamppi Chapel of Silence

The breathtaking wooden exterior resembles nothing other than Noah’s Ark plowing through the waves with the future of life on Earth in the balance. Inside you sit and rest in the presence of magnificent emptiness. The ceiling exemplifies the Cosmic Egg from which everything emerged according to some traditions. The outer walls are spruce and the inner walls, made from alder, surround the simple ash furniture. Each wood perfectly suits its purpose. In the bustling heart of the city, an opportunity to pause and reflect for a few moments or longer in total silence upon whatever you believe the eternal to be and then get on with the rest of your day; your perspective altered (if only a little).

The beautyfull Vanha Kirkko or the old church is located centrally in Helsinki at the Bulevardi in the Old Church Park. It does look smal but do have seating for about 1200 people. The church is white and build in wood. The construction started in 1820 and was completed in 1826 by Carl Ludwig Engel. It was open and we did go in, what a brigth and smiling church , white and friendly. The church is very popular for weddings in Helsinki and the acoustics is great for concert which are held there. The church do have a elevator for disabled people but you need to contact the church first. .

5. Helsinki Synagogue
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 17 reviews
The Helsinki synagogue (1906) is Modern Orthodox, the building itself of international, eclectic architecture common for 19th century synagogues in Central Europe and England. The building forms part of an interesting final point in the stylistic development of traditional synagogue building. As a historic monument, it shows that the Jewish minority was accepted in Finnish society.
