Streets of Helsinki - Part 2

In Helsinki there are several pedestrian only streets, generally going North to South. It makes walking easy once you know where they are.
 An old pharmacy corner frontage.
 Grand doors.
An old building, on the Esplanadi, with a pedestrian walkway beside it.

 The Parliament building of Finland, under renovation for the steps and front grounds.
 The National Museum of Finland. Unfortunately we did not go in but is rated quite highly.
An air raid shelter/parking entrance because ones next door neighbors leads one to build appropriate safeguards. This one was for 6000 people and was converted for use as a parking garage since 1979.
