- Helsinki Cathedral - The Helsinki Cathedral, also known as the White Cathedral, is the city’s most iconic landmark, often featured in photographs. If open, we can enter to learn about Finland’s religious culture and, if fortunate, enjoy some music inside! (Note: There’s a €10 entry fee in summer, so we typically don’t enter during this season.)
- Kauppatori - “Torille” is a well-known Finnish phrase meaning “to the market”! Let’s visit the market square to discover its significance, explore Finnish cuisine, and find unique souvenirs to take home from Helsinki.
- Allas Sea Pool - We will provide a comprehensive guide to the Finnish sauna experience and recommend the best saunas in town. Discover why Finns are passionate about saunas! Located next to the Gulf of Finland, Allas sauna offers a lovely sea view, and we’ll discuss Suomenlinna fortress island, a highly recommended UNESCO heritage site to visit post-tour.
- Uspenskin Cathedral (Uspenskin Katedraali) - Why does Helsinki have two cathedrals? This one differs from Helsinki Cathedral, and we’ll uncover why! We’ll admire this beautiful cathedral from afar during our market square visit.
- Havis Amanda - Arguably the most famous and iconic statue in Helsinki!
- The Esplanadi Park - Known locally as Helsinki’s Champs-Élysées, it houses the Kappeli restaurant and Espa music stage. In the center stands Runeberg’s statue, Finland’s national poet. We’ll also share some intriguing facts about Finland here.
- Fazer Café Kluuvikatu - The first café bar in Helsinki, possibly the reason behind Finns’ love for coffee and coffee breaks!
- Aleksanterinkatu - Aleksi is a main street in the city center, lined with beautiful Art Deco buildings, each narrating fascinating stories about Finnish culture!
- Helsinki Central Railway Station - This central train station is a stunning city center landmark, guarded by four massive statues with many tales to tell! We’ll also pass by two other beautiful buildings: Finland’s National Theater and the Ateneum Museum (Finland’s National Gallery).
- Kansalaistori - This modern district is surrounded by striking post-modern buildings, showcasing why Helsinki was named the World Design Capital in 2012!
- Central Library Oodi - Oodi Library is the tour’s highlight, redefining the concept of a library. It’s unlike any library you’ve seen before and is sure to amaze you!
