Bulevardi

Walk Engel's Boulevard to the Plague Cemetery

Old Church Park started as a plague burial ground in 1710 — when the epidemic killed two-thirds of Helsinki's population. The plague dead are still underfoot. Walk south through Sinebrychoff Park, where brewery ruins from 1819 mark Finland's oldest brewery family (the park beer garden still serves their brand). End at Hietalahti flea market, where vintage Finnish glass and Soviet-era curiosities sprawl across the cobblestones every summer weekend.
