Helsinki South Harbour and surroundings by webcam

Webcam: EK (Confederation of Finnish Industries)

Located atop the headquarters of EK (Confederation of Finnish Industries) in downtown Helsinki, this webcam offers a range of views of the 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 Helsinkians and visitors alike.

Depending on the camera angle and the amount of zoom, you can often see the colourful open-air market stalls, City Hall, the Presidential Palace, the green-domed Lutheran Cathedral, the Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral with its traditional onion-shaped cupolas and the marble-clad Stora Enso office building, designed by the distinguished Finnish architect Alvar Aalto.

The EK webcam often also shows the huge passenger ferries that sail between Helsinki and Stockholm. 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 show spectacular shots of the official ceremonies taking place in the forecourt of the Presidential Palace. 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.
