Atlas Obscura Wanderings in Helsinki

After sunset, I made my way through the fading light towards to check out two Atlas Obscura sights. The first was the Pohjola Insurance Building, which features an old stone façade with gargoyles and ogres from Finnish folklore.

I then walked westwards past the train station, and I headed towards Kamppi Chapel, a cool looking asymmetrical wooden structure located very conspicuously within a shopping area. Per Atlas Obscura, it isn’t really a chapel; it serves as a quiet space in the middle of a commercial district. Unfortunately, it had closed for the day, so I could not go inside.

Nearby, I stumbled across the exterior of the Amos Rex Museum, which looks like white mounds. I enjoyed watching people gingerly pick their way up and down the sloping roof.

I wandered around for a bit more, but it was already well past sunset and I don’t fancy wandering around a strange city in the dark, so I made my way to the train station and back to Vantaa Airport.
