Explore Finland's sparkling capital, where landmarks range from the golden-domed Uspenski Cathedral to the elegant modern opera house.
Visit magnificent Senate Square, where your guide points out details of the fine neo-Classical buildings and a statue of Alexander II, Czar of Russia, and Grand Duke of Finland.
Continue along Mannerheim Street, the main thoroughfare, whose highlights include the Parliament House, the National Museum and Finlandia Hall.
Pass through lovely residential neighborhoods en route to the site of the 1952 Olympics.
At Sibelius Park, photograph the striking monument to Finland's beloved composer, Jean Sibelius. Also, discover the unique Temppeliaukio Church, built into solid rock and topped by a copper dome -- an icon of the city.
Please note: You will encounter cobblestone surfaces at Senate Square. It is a 400-yard walk uphill from the coach parking to the Rock Church. In the event that a special function is being held here, an inside visit will not be possible. There are gravel pathways at Sibelius Park surrounding the Sibelius Monument.
