City-Center, Commercial district in central Helsinki, Finland.

The central area combines Finnish architecture, shopping centers, and public squares connected by wide pedestrian streets and efficient tram networks.

Following the Great Fire of 1808, Helsinki center received a neoclassical design influenced by Saint Petersburg's architecture, featuring prominent stone buildings.

The district contains Finland's main art institutions, including Ateneum Art Museum and Kiasma Museum, which display national and international collections.

The center operates extensive public transport from Monday to Sunday, with direct connections to Helsinki Airport and neighboring municipalities.

The Temppeliaukio Church, built directly into solid bedrock, incorporates natural granite walls and a copper dome with circular skylight.
