Beautiful details in very diverse architectural entities. Photographic views of the sea, archipelago and city, exciting icebreakers on their summer vacation. A museum, incredible courtyards, a prison hotel, a hotel, a hostel, a swimming pool, a fairground and an active harbor on the same peninsula. Free entertainment that can be accessed by tram.
The most expensive and architecturally epic area of Helsinki. Has both the Uspensky cathedral and Allas Sea Pool.
Quiet harborside Katajanokka is known for elegant art nouveau buildings, the gold-domed, red-brick Uspenski Cathedral and upscale seafood restaurants. Icebreakers dock on the north shore, and 19th-century warehouse Wanha Satama hosts markets and nautical exhibits. The Allas Sea Pool is a busy outdoor swimming and sauna complex. Overlooking the harbor, SkyWheel Helsinki offers panoramic views of the city. (from Google)
