Last resting place of famous Finns and lots of other people, Hietaniemi Cemetery in Helsinki provides a quiet place in a quiet capital city.
I did not have a clear plan, I did not have a map of the cemetery, and I was anyway not very aware of the importance of the names I had seen announced as famous Finns. Still, I had a very pleasant walk over the cemetery, discovering different styles of graves, the cemetery blending in perfectly with nature, appreciating the flowers decorating the tombs. I saw graves of famous Finns like Kekkonen and Mannerheim, the sections with tombs for fallen soldiers of the wars against the Soviet Union and Germany, but also special sections like the orthodox and Jewish ones. While not as overwhelmingly decorated as for instance cemeteries in Southern Europe, Hietaniemi Cemetery is definitely charming as well.
