Arrival at Helsinki Airport, meet-and-greet followed by transfer to Helsinki and check in at your centrally located hotel. If you arrive early, we recommend getting the Helsinki Card, which gives you access to all main sights, museums and public transportations.
After a breakfast at the hotel, you will embark on a 1 hour and 45 minute audio bus sightseeing tour. The many sites include the Senate Square, Uspenski Cathedral, the Parliament Building and the Olympic Stadium. Stops are made at the Sibelius Monument and, when possible, at the Temppeliaukio Church. Afterwards, you will have the rest of the day free to explore the city with its museums, shopping, restaurants and nightlife.
After breakfast at the hotel, you have the whole day to enjoy at your leisure. We recommend you to visit the Kauppatori market place, which is overflowing with fresh fruit and vegetables, fresh fish, furs and souvenirs. After lunch we recommend that you take the ferry to Suomenlinna Sea Fortress, which is included in UNESCO´s World Heritage List and one of the most popular tourist attractions in Helsinki.
Today you be transferred from Helsinki to Vantaa Airport for your journey back home. If you are departing on the afternoon flight, and haven’t done so, you may want to explore the amazing Old Town section (Arabianranta area) where you can see where the past meets modern architecture and design of the city. Otherwise you can use the opportunity to do some last minute shopping, visit a museum, or just wind down at a local café before heading home from your Helsinki adventure.
