Travelog post for: TobiHH

My host had to run some errands in Helsinki and naturally I got to go with her. Here I have found the Cathedral of Helsinki! It looks so big on the outside but isn't as big on the inside (though it's bigger than the pic). This Cathedral was designed by Carl Ludwig Engel and built in 1830-1852. You can see the harbour from there! That's where I headed next...

The monument in front of the Cathedral is a statue of Alexander II, made by Walter Runeberg in 1894. Alexander II is sculpted making his speech on the Porvoo Diet in 1863.

On my way to the harbour I saw The Orthodox Church called the Uspensky Cathedral. It looks awesome too! It's designed by Aleksei M. Gornostajev and it's finished in 1868. Both Cathedrals are popular tourist attractions too.
