Helsinki Cathedral in Finland

I visited the 'Helsinki Cathedral' in Helsinki, Finland!

If you go early in the morning, you can almost have the place to yourself! It seems like there are fewer people first thing in the morning.

Walking around in the quiet atmosphere, I was able to enjoy the impression of a simple yet elegant church, with its dazzling chandeliers and pipe organ. The woman at the ticket counter seemed to enjoy chatting, and the person at the cathedral entrance was also talking non-stop. Even though it's a sacred place, it was nice to be able to explore it without feeling tense and in a relaxed manner!

When I visited last year, the dome section was under construction, and this year, other parts were being renovated.
