The 21 Best Things to Do in Helsinki (Updated 2025)

"Sitting high above the city, this large red Eastern Orthodox cathedral with gold-domed crosses has a distinctly Russian feel; consecrated in 1868, it’s the largest Eastern Orthodox church in Western Europe with a lavishly decorated interior full of icons (though some famous icons have been stolen in recent years)." - Matthew Kepnes
