District Katajanokka

Katajanokka, Skatudden, Skatta
Finland, Helsinki
The district of Katajanokka is located on the western coast of the historical part of Helsinki. Until 1840, Katajanokka was a peninsula, and then the Katajanok Canal was dug between it and the mainland. Currently, the Katajanokka island area separates the North and South Harbors in Helsinki.

For several years now we have been starting our walks in Helsinki from Katajanokki. This is a beautiful respectable area with blocks of houses built in the Art Nouveau style and populated by wealthy residents. I don't even believe it. that some 100 years ago it was a dangerous outback where the poor and convicts lived. Initially, Katajanokka was a peninsula, but now it is separated from the mainland by a small canal, through which several small bridges are thrown, one of which is a “love bridge” tightly hung with locks, similar to which can be found in almost any city in the world.
