Also known as the Rock Church, this place is carved straight into granite in the middle of Helsinki. From the outside, it kind of looks like a grounded spaceship. Inside, the rough stone walls, copper dome, and skylight ring give the space a quiet, otherworldly feel. It’s still used for services, but you’re just as likely to catch a concert here, thanks to the natural acoustics, which are genuinely impressive.

The Dales is one of the Island's iconic sites and one of the few places with permanent flowing water and stunning wet areas, providing significant habitat for endemic blue crabs and impressive stands of Tahitian chestnut trees. The drive through the Dales leads through rainforest to a scenic and tranquil area, which has two walking trails starting from the Dales 4WD car park. The first trail is mostly a boardwalk, leading to Hugh's Dale Waterfall, about 1 kilometre each way from the car park. Signage along the trail offers information on the island's plants and animals. For the adventurous, the second trail leads on from Hugh's Dale for about 800 metres to Anderson's Dale, a small gorge with a stream that flows to the sea.
