Old Church Park

The top three churches Helsinki is famous for is the Helsinki Cathedral, the Uspenski Cathedral and the Rock Church, however there is a wonderful variety of different styles and denominations which cater to the historic populations of Helsinki. This guide will help you locate and discover the top churches in Helsinki and as a bonus, I've added the main Synagogue and Islamic Center at the end. All of these recommendations are in the city center or within a 3km radius. All can be visited on foot and public transport. During the summer season (May to August), there is a surcharge to enter some of the main churches and some visits need to be coordinated with the temple's authorities as they are not open to the public outside of worship hours. It is rumored there will be a 'church pass' offered to those who wish to visit multiple churches, however this has yet to be confirmed so watch this space!
