Completed in 1868, its red-brick façade and 13 golden domes stand out against Helsinki's skyline. Inside, you'll find a richly decorated interior with a gilded iconostasis and impressive chandeliers.

Lively, affordable and with a vibrant atmosphere, Freihaus is considered to be the trendiest district in Vienna by many.

The Film Museum in the Albertina is a must in Vienna for every film enthusiast, serving as a cinematheque and an archive for a collection ranging from the origins of film history to the present days; make sure to check the schedule on their website to see what is currently being screened, as this isn't a "museum" in the traditional sense of the word, but more of a historic cinema. National and international films are screened all year round, with changing retrospectives and individual presentations offered to the public. The Film Museum also boasts the widest collection of film literature in the country, as well as a selection of cinema-related photos, posters and periodicals.

Oodi is a striking example of modern Finnish design and a space where people come to read, work, relax and meet.
