Rinkeli
Rinkeli is Linnanmäki's large ferris wheel, which has been at the park since 2006.
Visitors can ride in one of the wheel's open air gondolas and be lifted 34 metres above ground level, for spectacular views across the park and wider over Helsinki.
The wheel replaced an older 23 metre tall wheel which had been at the park since 1964.
During the winter, Rinkeli is lit up with thousands of light bulbs between the first day of Advent until Epiphany, as part of Helsinki's Christmas celebrations.
