Helsinki's most famous attraction is the Helsinki Cathedral and its surrounding yellowish buildings with Neoclassical style on Senate Square in the city center. Built in 1852, the cathedral is a fine example of Finnish architectural art. It is topped by a striking green domed bell tower, which can be seen from any corner of the city.

Helsinki is a beautiful, clean city with wide streets, lush trees and green lawns.
