Surrounded by impressive buildings, this is a place to take it all in, relax on the steps of the Lutheran cathedral, watch the world go by. It's not to be missed.

Wide square, surrounded by old architetured buildings, with a magnificent church at the top. The place is a "most see" place in Helsinki.

We enjoyed the afternoon photographing the historical building, the surrounding buildings and subjects too. Lovely to walk around the square and chill out.

Quite spectacular. Overlooked by the Lutheran Cathedral and a number of nice restaurants and coffee shops as well as souvenir shops. The small Orthodox church just beyond the Cathedral is also worth a visit.

We went to the Christmas Market at the Square but it was a bit boring. The same products are on sale at many stands. I missed the real Christmas markets stuff. There was only one stand with food and another for drinks, I would have enjoyed a drink with my food. We ate something and then left.
