It’s always a bit cooler on the north balcony. When the church was being built, the street line coming from the south, the so-called Union Axis, was planned to continue as a wide park street from the church northward, all the way to Pasila. The plan was not realized, which is why the main entrance of Kallio Church is on the northern wall instead of facing the city center to the south. The current Brahenkenttä is located where the planned street would have been. From the north balcony, you can see places like the Linnanmäki amusement park and the Pasila station quite clearly.
