What to do in 2h?
Hello, tomorrow we are having a transition of 5h in the Vantaa-helsinki airport. We plan to spend 2h outside of the airport. What can you suggest us to do in those 2h? I think Vantaa is more accesible than Helsinki from the airport Cheers

What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors are often surprised by Tikkurila Church's striking modern architecture and the serene atmosphere it cultivates. Many appreciate the blend of faith and beauty, finding it a unique and peaceful place. While some noted a lack of English services, the overall sentiment highlights a welcoming and clean environment.
"Faith & beauty seem so often go hand by hand. I have visited many beautiful mosques and many beautiful Buddhist temples. These contacts are often powerful aesthetic experiences which I see rather as an unintentional surplus' of organized religions, or lines of flight from organized religions - to something different, to something special. This is what I mean with "faith & beauty", it's something which I would call Sublime
Then, I was surprised what I saw when we walked in the centre of Tikkurila. That surprise was a small church, Tikkurilan kirkko.
Church of Tikkurila, with its colours and its lights creating an almost touchable atmosphere, is a place where faith & beauty go together. Simply, it is a place worth of visit for people who are interested in modern Christian architecture, or who are interested in Sublime of "faith & beauty"."
