Senate Square Helsinki

Considered one of the finest neoclassical town squares in all of Europe, the Senate Square has its name for housing Finland’s Senate building, though it is also well known for housing the University building and the popular Lutheran cathedral. The real draw for the locals is that Senate Square serves as an excellent gathering point. Here, the people of Helsinki will convene and go about their business, and so this may well be the first and most important stop for visitors interested in people watching and making conversation with the locals.
