Couple from Singapore. Disappointed when we visited as the whole park was fenced up for renovation works which will last till 2024.

It's an intriguing monument of the Finnish composer, Jean Sibelius. You can get some really cool photos with the architecture! It's also a nice walk near the park that it's in.

Being one of the main tourist attractions in Helsinki, the Sibelius monument attracts heaps of people especially during the Summer weekends, with several buses parked on Mechelininkatu (the main road next to the park). Although at times busy, the surrounding is most time of the day quite calm. Depending on the time of the year of your visit, have a walk in the park or at least on the seashore. The monument was apparently finished in 1967, two years late from the intended 100 year anniversary of Sibelius' birth. As someone living fairly close to the monument and therefore having visited the place hundreds of times, I can't say this will blow your mind, being 'the most amazing thing you've ever seen', but I'd say it's worth a visit. The monument is made of steel, with dimensions of 8,5x10,5x6,5, in meters. That being said, it is perhaps much more fun seen "from below, with sound" and is definitely an interesting piece of art! During summertime, there is an ice cream trailer and some people selling more or less cheap souvenirs, but otherwise there aren't any shops or similar anywhere near - except for: the cozy Café Regatta. Make sure to visit Regatta simultaneously, it's very close to the monument and definitely worth a visit.

Great sculpture! Worth visiting. Park around the sculpture is nice place to hang out, have a picnic…

Autumn charm at the park We visited the park in fall and it was very pretty. The coloured leaves added a great background setting for the monument. The park overlooks the water front and it is really nice to walk through it, cut across the road and sit on a bench soaking the view of the water ! If you are in Helsinki city Center, worth taking a short stop here!
