Helsinki is the capital of Finland, located in southern Finland on the shore of the Gulf of Finland, which is on the Baltic Sea. Helsinki has so many interesting attractions, sites and events that entire books could be written about it. There are museums, cathedrals, parks, a zoo, a fortress and a church as its main attractions. But there are also maritime attractions, family attractions, art, galleries, design, architecture, and much, much more.

One of Helsinki?s most famous landmarks is the Cathedral. It was designed by C L Engel and is in neoclassical style. Building work took over 20 years and was completed in 1852. The crypt of the cathedral regularly hosts events and exhibitions.

The Children?s Very Own Gallery is located in the Cable Factory and is an art gallery dedicated entirely to children.

The Helsinki Zoo, known as Korkeasaari, was founded in 1889, making it one of the world?s oldest zoos. There are around 200 different species of animals residing in the zoo as well as over 1,000 different plant species. The zoo has a shared protection programme and through this has been able to house rhinoceroses.
