Katajanokka is known especially for its magnificent tourist attraction, the Uspenski cathedral, which stands high on top of a hill next to the Market Square (Kauppatori).

The coastal, high-profile residential area of Katajanokka is located in southern Helsinki on the city’s east shore and close to the comprehensive services of the city centre. The ferries to Sweden pass by and the historical buildings of the Suomenlinna island can be seen in the horizon. Katajanokka’s nickname Skatta is derived from the area’s Swedish name Skatudden.
