Do not miss this museum. Excellent displays. We went with two kids (8 and 5). It was perfect. The information about various ecosystems was super informative.

Reviewed By TjalleF - London, United Kingdom
The beauty and gracefulness of this cemetary is best expressed either on a cold snow-covered winter day or on a warm sunny summer day. Hietaniemi is open to the public, and has many paths to wander about and discover a plethora of different and often astonishing gravestones from the humblest tombstones to some prominent families' ornate displayes. Don't miss the soldiers' memorial where many fallen heroes rest, and close by are some graves of late presidents of Finland.

In the midst of the bustling city, a very pleasant walk, together with cyclists, joggers, dog walkers and the like. Some fine old buildings on the eastern side, museums on the west. Somewhat secluded from traffic.

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.
5. Kamppi Chapel of Silence
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,895 reviews
Reviewed By Hawk470 - Baltimore, United States
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).

This Empire style charming villa is centrally located next to Finlandia Hall near Töölönlahti bay. The villa hosts temporary exhibitions. At the moment, there is an interesting photo exhibition.

Would you like to act, direct or create costumes? In Theatre Museum you can play the lead if you want! At numerous points throughout the exhibition you can try things yourself, see how things work, experience the thrill and joy of performing. On display are costumes, set models and props – get a feel for the theatre at close quarters. The temporary exhibitions complement the permanent exhibition.

We did not have high expectations going to this museum, but we were surprised. There are many interactive displays where kids can put on theater costumes and create their own show. The place was nearly empty when we got there, and the stage was free for the kids to play. We spent several hours there and had to leave when the place was closing, without even seeing all the rooms. A wonderful place if your kids are into acting.
