Helsinki, a city of bold architecture and monuments, offers fascinating views. From palaces to market squares, you’ll see intriguing design styles: notably the white mass of the Lutheran Cathedral of St Nicholas in Senate Square and the wonder that is the Rock Church – a unique creation carved out of solid rock topped with a copper dome.

Just as arresting is the stainless steel Sibelius Monument, dedicated to the musical vision of Jean Sibelius and designed to resemble a sound wave of pipes. You’re sure to have an opinion about its appearance. It stirred huge debate among the Finnish public when it was first unveiled.
