You are never far from water in Helsinki, as it’s located on a peninsula reaching into the Baltic Sea. During its 450-year history, the city’s fortunes have swung to reflect the Swedish-Russian struggle to control sea routes. The influence of these two neighbours and rivals is heavily imprinted on the Finnish capital, both physically, in the starkly romantic architecture, and psychologically, in a national character that combines both Slavic melancholy and Scandinavian liberalism.
The gigantic Baltic ferries cruise right into the city, passing the Swedish-built fortress of Suomenlinna on the headland and coming to rest beside the elegant neo-classical waterfront. This part of town was designed by Carl Engel at the beginning of the 19th century; at its heart lies Senate Square where the imposing green and white Lutheran Cathedral (Tuomiokirkko) stands proud beside the university and the Government Palace. Equally dramatic is the brooding Byzantine-Russian style Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral (Kanavakatu 1, 634267) in the neighbouring Katajanokka district.
