I heard that this "tourist site" is usually included in the sightseeing tour program. But, since we are traveling around Helsinki on our own, we did not run to the Church in the rock - Temppeliaukio - from the first time.
The building of the church did not make a big impression on me: from the outside it looks like a huge crypt. Inside, everything looks more interesting: raw stone walls, natural light falling through a glass dome ...But in general - nothing special. Well, the church...So if for some reason you don't get here, you shouldn't be very upset. It is interesting that the people of Helsinki themselves treat the "sights" without reverence, walking their dogs right on the roof of the temple, entering it from the back of the building.
Entrance to the Temppeliaukio church is free, in the hall you can take a free brochure in Russian. I also remember a small stand with prayer sheets in different languages of the world - you can take it as a keepsake.
The church in the rock is about a ten to fifteen minute walk from the building of the Finnish Parliament - Eduskunt.
