Helsinki and Suomenlinna Guided Tour

After pickup, we will embark on a panoramic tour of Helsinki. From our air-conditioned vehicle, we will see iconic sights such as the Olympic Stadium, Esplanade Park, and Market Square.

We will make three short stops for photos and to admire landmarks. The first stop is at the Sibelius Monument, honoring composer Jean Sibelius. Next, we will visit Senate Square to see the facade of the Lutheran Cathedral of Helsinki. Lastly, we will view the Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral, known for its intricate red brick architecture.
