Helsinki, capital of Finland, is on a peninsular on the south coast of the country. The city's best-known building is the Tuomiokirkko (Lutheran Cathedral) on Senaatintori (Senate Square). The 1952 Olympics were held in the city's Olympic stadium; there is now a youth hostel in the stadium tower.

The city has a number of parks and a waterfront. The monument to the composer Sibelius is to the north of the city centre.
