Senate Square is surrounded by monuments; it features a magnificent vaulted cathedral, the university, the government palace and the statue of Tzar Alexander II.
The market square, which actually in the port, offers a diverse range of local products. You will have a chance to visit the Suomen Kansalismuseo, a museum that holds a lot of city history. Have a look at the Sibelius Monument, a tribute to the composer Jean Sibelius; it is a very modernist and highly unique sculpture, and call into the Finnish National Opera.
Helsinki is the nation of Saunas, you can enjoy them in all the hotels and the country houses also have them. Depending on the time of year you travel, you will find a totally different landscape. For enjoying the snow, the ideal time is between December and mid April, and if you want to enjoy the summer experience, the ideal months are June, July and August.
