Helsinki South Harbour and surroundings by webcam

Weather in Helsinki now

The EK webcam offers a range of views of the Helsinki South Harbour and its surroundings. The camera is able to pick up details of this historically fascinating area that remains one of the most popular locations among both Helsinkians and visitors. Depending on the camera angle, and whether its zoom capability is used, you can often see e.g. the colourful open-air market stalls (during the winter months they are fewer and less colourful), the City Hall and the Presidential Palace, the green-domed Lutheran Cathedral, the Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral with its traditional onion-like cupolas, or the marble-clad Stora-Enso office building designed by the distinguished Finnish architect Alvar Aalto.

And during the summer months in particular, you will also have a chance to see the impressive luxury cruise ships that visit Helsinki plus a host of private motor vessels and yachts. In addition, during state visits, the EK webcam people have promised to show some spectacular shots of the official ceremonies taking place in the forecourt of the Presidential Palace. Thus, a return visit to this page, which offers new angles and events every day, is always rewarding. And, for those seeking information on Finnish industry and the economy we recommend the EK home page.
