Default What to do in Helsinki

I'm in Helsinki all week. Any suggestions on what to do? I've been so busy I haven't had time to research what is worth seeing. The hotel is near the marina and I only have tomorrow and evenings to see things as meetings will take up the daytime. So, I haven't time to venture too far out.
thanks for any suggestions.

There is a new temple in Helsinki that is only a year old. It is presently Europe's easternmost temple (hurry before Kiev opens!), and your chance to see a session in Russian, Estonian, or whatever language suits your fancy.

Leave Helsinki, take a boat to Stockholm. Enjoy.

Well I have a friend in Norway who says they are common there too. I figured it's pretty much a northern Europe thing, at the least.
