    Uspenski Orthodox Church: Uspenski Orthodox Church
  • Tip Rating:
  • An imposing dark-red church build in a Byzantine-Slavic style on a granite hill of the Katajanokka neighbourhood. The church, build in 1868, is one of the most typical architectural example of the Russian influence in Finland. It is a massive building with golden onion-shaped domes that are topped by a 22-carat golden cross.

    Open 9.30am-4pm Tuesday till Friday and till 2 pm on Saturday. Sunday, only 12 to 3 pm.

    You can see Uspensky from almost anywhere in downtown Helsinki. It dominates the horizon and is a pleasant help to tourists in that respect.

    Tram #2 goes right to the side steps. The inside is remarkably well preserved. It was built in a time when Russia took the area over and is a reminder of Finlands Historical past.

  • Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral - Helsinki
    Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral

    In between the President's House and Katajanokka lies the huge red brick Upsenski Orthodox Church. The church sits atop a platform that gives you a great opportunity for some panoramic pictures. Unfortunately, the interior of the church is less appealing that the exterior. The actual exhibit are is quite small and items on display seemed to be put together hastily. There is a small souvenir stand inside that offers trinkets and brochures on the history of the church.

    Uspenski Orthodox Church: Uspenski Cathedral
  • Tip Rating:
  • This orthodox cathedral looks so Russian - even films that were supposed to be set in Russia were filmed here because of its looks.

    Don't forget to go inside, it's even more beautiful on the inside (see next tip). The church is open to visitors in summers.
