Creator's Key Takeaways

It is a beautiful, striking, ultramodern library with three floors of books, free workstations, a cafe, and even 3D printers and sewing stations.

I just love the sculpture, which looked different from all angles.

I've been to hundreds of cathedrals during my travels, but I have to say I found this church to be one of the most beautiful because of its natural beauty.

It was a great way to finish a long day of sightseeing.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Visit the Rock Church in the early evening when crowds are thinner.
Go to the Fortress of Suomenlinna for sunset to enjoy the long twilights.
Take a peek at the University of Helsinki National Library.

YouTube Video Description

Helsinki is a beautiful city, full of interesting history, exciting architecture and beautiful harbors and islands. On a recent visit, two Finnish friends showed me all over their home town. I saw vast areas of the city, so for this video, I have focused on my five favorite districts we visited, including Kluuvi, Market Street & Harbor, Senate Square, Töölö, and the Fortress of Suomenlinna. Those were my favorite places I visited. However, there were some honorable mentions. I also visited Kamppi, Merisamata and Katajanokka. There was so much to see, yet I felt like I experienced a wonderful overview of the city, all in just 24 hours! @seniorsolotravel Facebook Travel Forum: https://www.facebook.com/groups/443309331791413 Senior Solo Travel Website: https://www.seniorsolotravel.net/ Visit Helsinki Website: https://www.visitfinland.com/ Visit Tallinn Website: https://visittallinn.ee/eng Rock Church info: https://www.temppeliaukionkirkko.fi/en/index/nimi.html Scandinavian & Baltic Trip videos: Vilnius: https://youtu.be/FL8f7rP7qP8 Air Baltic-Economy: https://youtu.be/lhokVU-Xw_U Riga: https://youtu.be/ZPPP943sEds Lux Express Coach-Tallinn to Riga: https://youtu.be/l5_fMoGlSHQ Tallinn: https://youtu.be/IVK_vsC4OY0 Helsinki to Tallin Ferry: https://youtu.be/EzeAn1C4FvM Helsinki: https://youtu.be/lR6o6URJ3lM Stockholm-Helsinki Overnight Ferry: https://youtu.be/TTVAlq-92yE Stockholm: https://youtu.be/jUeo-BJ4WjI Flamsbana Railway from Flam to Myrdal: https://youtu.be/fJRTT2OE0Hg Bergen to Flam by Train, Bus & Boat: https://youtu.be/iNzn6c1x7JY Bergen: https://youtu.be/gkx1WQU-AZU Ponant Le Bellot Cruise Experience: https://youtu.be/kI93RZC4P_k Norwegian Cruise: https://youtu.be/Q0cEDFZo_m8 Oslo: https://youtu.be/_0GUWomILjo Copenhagen to Oslo Overnight Ferry: https://youtu.be/yVSIaNrj2AI Malmo, Sweden: https://youtu.be/ebgBHybtGjA Copenhagen: https://youtu.be/1is7PDVwI8k Please subscribe and turn on notifications to follow more of this Scandinavian and Baltic journey, including Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. 0:00 Intro 0:51 Kluuvi 2:13 Market Square & Harbor 3:20 Senate Square 4:25 Töölö 6:02 Fortress 7:09 Other Places 7:58 Outro
