Linnanmäki still the most popular attraction In 2008 Linnanmäki Amusement Park remained the most popular attraction in Helsinki, with 1,256,000 million visitors. The figure rose by about 5% compared with the year before. Next on the list were Suomenlinna, Temppeliaukio Church, the Uspenski Cathedral and the Helsinki Zoo. With the exception of Linnanmäki, all of these attractions had fewer visitors than the year before. Suomenlinna received 678,000 visitors. Temppeliaukio Church and the Uspenski Cathedral also attracted over half a million visitors, while the Helsinki Zoo fell slightly short of this figure. The Finnish National Gallery, Ateneum enjoyed a sharp increase in visitors and was the most popular museum. It was followed by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Kiasma in second place and by the Museum of Natural History and the National Museum of Finland. The Museum of Natural History reopened in May after being closed for over two years for repairs. The number of people visiting the branches of the Helsinki City Museum more than doubled after free admission was introduced at the beginning of the year. By far the most popular event was the Helsinki Festival. The number of visitors (262,600) was 15% lower than the year before, however. International comparison Compared with the nearest competing cities, Helsinki did quite well. Among the Nordic capitals Stockholm posted the highest growth in nights (7%), thanks mostly to domestic visitors. Copenhagen recorded a 2% drop and Oslo a 1% drop in nights. Helsinki reached nearly the same number of nights as Oslo but did not quite overtake it. In 2000 and 2003 Helsinki recorded slightly more nights than Oslo, but since then hotel capacity and nights have risen more strongly in Oslo.
