Description
Aleksanterinkatu is a street in the centre of Helsinki, Finland."The street, colloquially known in Helsinki as "Aleksi", was named for Tsar Alexander I of Russia in 1833. It was originally named Suurkatu (Swedish: Storgatan), meaning "Grand Street", but was renamed after the Emperor's death in his honour. The streets crossing Aleksanterinkatu are named after the Emperor's mother, his brothers, and his sisters."
