This was a neat place to see and a must-see in Helsinki if you have the time. However, once you walk around both inside and outside and take a few photos, there is not much more to see or learn. As with much of Helsinki, the church is very accesible by tram...a tram stop is less than 200m from the... more

The fact that the church is carved into the rock is... more

It is an inmpressive feat to build a church out of solid rock; however, I found this church nothing more than ordinary. The inside is very plain. Don't have high expectations that this will be a really cool site. You will surely be disappointed. 6/8/05 more
