1. This place is considered the coldest capital in the Nordic region. The average winter temperature in Helsinki is the lowest of the five major Nordic capitals. Helsinki’s record of low temperature is bone-chilling at 34.3 °C (29.7 °F), although normal temperatures will likely be significantly warmer. Even still, throughout the winter, average temperatures below freezing are seen to be usual.

2. In Helsinki’s Töölö district stands the Lutheran church known as Temppeliaukio Church. There are several churches in the city, but this one stands out for its distinctive architecture, which was created by the Suomalainen brothers. The church was hewn from a single block of rock. Since its inauguration in 1969, the chapel has grown to become a significant tourist destination for the city.
