  This town hall is located in the north from the "Baltic Maiden Statue" between Esplanadi Park and Market Square. Head to the back of this town hall and you will be able to go to Senate Square to Helsinki Cathedral.

  The best public restroom I've ever seen. I'm not kidding. And the building is really nice, with interesting exhibitions (Finnish film when I was there).

  I was there in connection with a scientific conference where the city often holds a reception. The mayor's address was appropriate wrt. both content and duration. The food was nice and they served red and white wine in addition to some non-alcoholic option. The building itself was nice and the artwork interesting.
