      Музей Атенеум с его богатой коллекцией произведений финского искусства и небольшая православная церковь Троицы, скрытая за величественным собором, действительно являются жемчужинами Хельсинки. Уютные улочки, ведущие к заливу, представляют собой идеальное сочетание безмятежной природы и красивой архитектуры, создавая историческую и умиротворяющую атмосферу.
      Ваша связь с этими местами добавляет особый шарм виртуальной прогулке.

    Do I see hills under the streets?

    • @travellerchannel
      @travellerchannel  2 месяца назад

      Yes, Helsinki's cityscape is characterized by gentle hills and undulating terrain. The city is built on a series of rocky peninsulas and islands, which gives it a unique topography. This means that when you walk through the streets of Helsinki, you might notice slight elevations and declines, as well as the beautiful interplay between the urban environment and natural rock formations.
      In some parts of the city, streets and buildings are constructed around or on top of these hills, adding to the city's distinctive charm. Areas like Kallio and the surroundings of the Helsinki Cathedral are good examples of this hilly terrain, offering scenic views over the city and the nearby sea. The natural landscape has been thoughtfully integrated into Helsinki's urban planning, providing both aesthetic appeal and a connection to the natural environment.
