Title: Helsinki, Finland
Post by: Anirban Halder on November 09, 2025, 05:43:52
Back in June this year, I was in Helsinki for work. I had a weekend to explore the beautiful city. I was surprised by the amalgamation of different cultures, the options for great restaurants and amount of tourists.
And among the busy lives, there was pause.

1. Cafe Regatta

17. Very unique church. Temppeliaukio Church, a Lutheran church in the Töölö neighbourhood of Helsinki. The church was designed by architects and brothers Timo and Tuomo Suomalainen and opened in 1969. Built directly into solid rock, it is also known as the Church of the Rock and Rock Church.
