Travel Tips - Touring Kallio

Helsinki Kallio, or Kallio Island as it is more commonly known, is one of Finland's most beautiful cities. It's home to a variety of historical sites, some well-known, and others less so, but all are worth exploring - and the history of this city is truly fascinating.

Kallio was originally named "Kallio-Lapin" and is a part of Finland's archipelago. Kallio was occupied by Russia during World War II and became a part of Russia. It was later re-united with the rest of Finland by the Allied forces, though the area was badly damaged by the war, and is now a popular tourist destination.

Kallio was in fact the first place to be officially chartered as an archaeological excavation site and remains an active research base today. The local authorities have also been working on establishing the area as a tourist destination, so the number of visitors to the area has remained steady for the last several years. The city is also well known as being a home to a wide range of music festivals, including the annual "Helsinki Festival", which is Finland's biggest music event and attracts some of the world's biggest musical acts. As, well as these regular music festivals, there are also a variety of other activities such as museums, art exhibitions, cultural events and outdoor events - with Kallio being known for being the perfect location for all kinds of events.

Kallio's most famous attraction is undoubtedly the Kallio Cathedral, which was built in the 16th century and is considered to be one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in the world. Although the city is now considered to be cosmopolitan, the Gothic architecture remains, with the church being designed to resemble an onion-like shape. The interior of the cathedral is painted in rich, warm tones, with many old, original paintings adorning the walls.

Tourists who are looking to experience the history of Kallio should also head out to the nearby Hakaniemi Park. This is an impressive park which contains a historic skating rink, which was used by the first people to visit Finland. Other areas of interest include the Nynytrottis, a part of a small, natural forest, and Kallio Lakskentammen, a small lakeside settlement built by the Finnish immigrants to the area.

It's no wonder that the beautiful city of Kallio has become such a popular tourist destination. The weather in the region is pleasant all year round, although the winters are quite cold, as it is surrounded by the Arctic Ocean. There is also plenty of nightlife and shopping to be found here. It's not unusual for tourists to find a variety of stalls selling local goods on almost every street in the city, as many of the restaurants serve the local cuisine.
