If they ask me what is the most beautiful place in Helsinki, I will answer without hesitation - Põ hjasranta! This is an elegant embankment that stretches along the North Harbor of the city.
I heard that this "tourist site" is usually included in the sightseeing tour program. But, since we are traveling around Helsinki on our own, we did not run to the Church in the rock - Temppeliaukio - from the first time.
Do not include this monument in your travel plan as a separate object. You will somehow go to him, walking around Kadriorg.

Kadriorg is a large beautiful park, in which, in addition to the Kadriorg Palace (rather modest in size and decoration) and a small house in which the picky creator of Kadriorg, the Russian Tsar Peter I, lived, there are many other interesting objects.
Few of the tourists visiting the Estonian capital already know about this place. Meanwhile, it is very unusual and non-standard for this area. This place is called the "Japanese Garden" and is located in the famous Kadriorg Park - a favorite place of rest for citizens and guests of the city.

The ruins of the temple of Birgitta are striking in their size. Once here, I usually think: if the preserved ruins are so monumental, then what did the monastery look like 500 years ago, during its heyday?
Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in the center of Old Tallinn stands out sharply against the background of its modest northern architecture with its luxurious forms and bright colors.
Tired and satisfied, after a busy day we returned to our Copenhagen hotel. And suddenly, in one of the windows they saw ...a cat. Then another, and another...Yes, it's a cat cafe!
