Construite en 1830, elle est aujourd'hui l'un des monuments les plus visités d'Helsinki et se distingue par son blanc si pur. Entre récitals, chants et concerts, ce lieu est en activité toute l'année. La Cathédrale Ouspenski Cette cathédrale orthodoxe construite en 1868 offre depuis son esplanade, une vue imprenable sur les quartiers Ouest. Son style byzantin-slave, son bâtiment massif en briques rouges, ses dômes dorés et ses flèches surmontées de croix, en font l'église gréco orthodoxe la plus importante d'Europe occidentale. L’église Temppeliaukion Construite par les frères Suomalainen en 1969, cet édifice à l'architecture si particulière, fût creusée dans la roche, ses murs sont en pierres et son plafond de filaments de cuivre créé un dôme majestueux. Emblème du courant expressioniste, elle abrite de nombreux évènements : concerts, symphonies... La Place du Sénat (Senate Square) Œuvre de l'urbaniste Ehenström et de l'architecte Carl Ludvig Engel, cette place au style néoclassique est entourée de 3 bâtiments emblématiques d'Helsinki, tous construits entre 1820 et 1840 : le Sénat, l'Université d'Helsinki et la majestueuse Bibliothèque. En son centre, on trouve une statut du Tsar Alexandre II. Tourisme à Helsinki : les incontournables La musée Kiasma Ce musée d'art contemporain est situé dans le quartier de Kluuvi au sud-est d'Helsinki. L'intérieur est aménagé sur 5 étages, et abrite une collection d’œuvres contemporaines datées de 1960 à nos jours. Construit par l'architecte contemporain Steven Holl, la particularité de ce bâtiment réside principalement dans son toit en zinc, titane et cuivre. Le musée Amos Rex Ce musée d'art finlandais fût construit entre 2013 et 2018. Anciennement musée Amos Anderson, il est aujourd'hui bâti sous la place Lasipalatsiaukio et se compose de puits de lumière visible de l'extérieur. Lieu culturel d'exception, il abrite 6 000 œuvres des 20 et 21e siècle : peintures, dessins, graphismes, meubles et objets en verre et Le parc Esplanadi céramique... Situé en plein centre-ville d'Helsinki, ce parc verdoyant est délimité par 2 grandes rues bordées de nombreux restaurants, cafés et boutiques de luxe. Avec son cadre bucolique propice à la détente, il est le principal lieu d'échange et de rencontre entre touristes et finlandais. Des concerts y sont parfois même organisés afin d'attirer les foules. La forteresse Suomenlinna Inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO depuis 1990, cette forteresse constitue un exemple particulièrement intéressant de l'architecture militaire européenne du 18e siècle. Avec ses 210 ha, 200 bâtiments et 6 km de fortifications, elle fût initialement construite pour défendre le Royaume de Suède de l’Empire Russe. Restaurants & Nightlife Clarion Hotel Sky Room Sky Room, ce rooftop situé au Clarion Hotel Helsinki, est l'un des lieux les plus tendances de la ville, offrant une vue spectaculaire sur Helsinki. On y trouve toute sorte de cocktail originaux, des barmans expérimentés, ainsi que de délicieux en-cas. Le décor mélange art moderne, nouvelle musique et un design luxueux. Ateljee Bar Rooftop Avec sa terrasse située au dernier étage du Sokos Hotel Torni, l'Ateljee Bar offre une vue unique sur les toits d'Helsinki. Par temps clair ou ensoleillé, on peut presque apercevoir Tallinn, capitale estonienne, de l'autre côté de la mer. En soirée, les lumières de la ville offrent une vue enchanteresse. Kappeli restaurant Le restaurant Kappeli dégage une atmosphère confortable et élégante à la fois. Idéalement situé au cœur du splendide parc Esplanadi, la vue depuis sa véranda en fait un lieu unique. Lieu de rencontre, ce restaurant propose des sucreries, des collations salées, ainsi qu'une sélection de bières et de vins. LAPPI Dans ce restaurant à l'ambiance décontractée, tous les ingrédients sont frais et locaux, afin d'expérimenter véritablement la cuisine lapone. Le Chef, M.

  • HELSINKI Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide
    HELSINKI Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Helsinki | 2019 0 Helsinki is the capital of Finland and the largest and most important city in terms of commerce and trading. Helsinki is surrounded by Espoo, Vantaa and multiple other smaller cities, together they are usually referred to as the Helsinki Metropolitan Area (HMA). The population of HMA is about 1.5 million. Helsinki itself sets the tone to the Finnish economy and to all other Finnish markets. With broad avenues, grand architecture, well-tended parks and no high-rise buildings, Helsinki is a beautifully planned 19th Century city, but one that retains a small town feel. It is arguably closer in atmosphere and appearance to the major cities of Eastern Europe than those in the West, but it has the typically safe and clean reputation of a Scandinavian city. The main shopping areas in Helsinki CBD are located in high streets such as Pohjoisesplanadi, Mannerheimintie, Keskuskatu, Aleksanterinkatu, and Mikonkatu. There are also several large shopping centers located very centrally. Rental levels in these retail areas are the highest in Finland. Due to the weather conditions, shopping centers are very popular in Finland.

Uniquely in the world, Finland’s national summer sport is track and field athletics. The country’s love affair with our sport began as it independence and identity was forged in the early years of the last century by the feats of its world famous athletes. Hannes Kolehmainen, Paavo Nurmi, Ville Ritola among other distance runners are said to have run Finland onto the world map. With a population of only five million, virtually half the size of Greater London, Finland punches above its athletics weight. With 49 Olympic track and field champions to date, the country is arguably the modern spiritual home of Ath- letics. Tampere is at the heart of that national athletics culture with the club Tam- pereen Pyrintö, whose 16,000 seater Ratina stadium hosts these World Un- der-20 Championships, producing many Olympic medallists over the decades. The most famous athlete to wear the red and white club colours was the world record breaking decathlete Akilles Järvinen, the 1928 and 1932 Olympic silver medallist, whose father Verner and brother Matti, competing for other clubs, were both Olympic gold medallists.
