I had 7 hours layover time in Helsinki on my way returning from Moscow to the States. This trip is a hidden gem for a great city tour to see highlights of Helsinki, including Helsinki Cathedral, Uspenski Cathedral, Esplanadi park and Kauppatori. The most memorable experience of my trip is attending Sunday morning service at Temppeliaukio Kirkko. Even though I can only stay for the first 15 mins due to my tight schedule, it is a wonderful experience to enjoy heavenly music in the church of the rock!!!

Best of Helsinki Panoramic Group tour. ULKO tours If this was the best of Helsinki like the tour title describes, Helsinki doesn't have much. We saw the church in the rock, very different, the open market, okay for fruits, vegetables, and souvenirs and the music center, not sure why, and the town square, and a "monument "to a composer which looked like a bunch of organ pipes stuck together. Drove by a few buildings. Not much else. Guide was okay. No internet on van.
