The place where Vantaa river flows into the sea was the place where Helsinki was founded in 1550. Despite its name "Old Town", don't expect to find any medieval buildings there, as the area was devastated by a fire and a plague outbreak and subsequently the city was moved south to its current location. Nevertheless, the site of where Helsinki was founded is marked by a small memorial and nearby there's the site of the city's first church, standing from 1550 to 1639. The nearby rapids are also worth seeing.
Paavalinkirkko
A church from the 1930s built of red tiles, one of the first landmarks one will see when driving into Helsinki from Lahti.
Mäkelänrinteen uimahalli
Indoor swimming pool which has also been used for international competitions. Great if you feel like swimming in the winter but don't care for the traditional Finnish "hole in the ice" swimming.
Watch some of those tropical animals you wouldn't want to bite or sting you in the indoor terrarium Tropicario.
