Can’t wait to see you on my tour!
I carry a red sign that reads "Helsinki Walking Tour" next to the statue of Alexander ii in the middle of Senate square, so not easy to miss!
Senate square is our meeting point, and it is probably the main tourist attraction of the town, where the history of modern Helsinki begins. Here we will find out what are the three beautiful buildings around us!
Helsinki Cathedral or the White cathedral is the most famous landmark in the town that you have probably seen pictures of. If the church is open, we can have a look at inside the church together to learn a bit about the religious mindset in Finland. If we are lucky, we can also enjoy some music inside the church.
The main building of the university of Helsinki is one of the many places in Helsinki that was unfortunally ruined during world war 2. Here we will learn a bit about the Finnish education system to see why it is one of the top ones in the world.
"Torille" is a famous Finnish phrase, which means "to the market" ! Let´s visit the market square to find out what that means! What Finns usually eat or drink, and what can you buy from Helsinki to take home with you?
The gulf of Finland has probably many stories to tell us about Helsinki as it has seen many battles throughout the history. Suomenlinna island is one of the many beautiful islands on the gulf , which is a highly recommended place to visit as it is a UNESCO heritage site. We will of course help you how to get to the island.
We will give you a complete guide to a Finnish sauna and give you some recommendations on the best saunas in the town. Let’s learn why Finns are so crazy about sauna?!
Why do we need two Cathedrals in Helsinki? This one looks different than Helsinki Cathedral, let us find out the reason! We will visit this beautiful cathedral from distance, when we visit the market square.
The beloved statue of Havis Amanda is probably the most iconic statue for the residents of Helsinki.
Locally known as Helsinki’s champs de elysee, is home to Kappeli restaurant and Espa music stage. In the middle, stands Runeberg's statue, the national poet of Finland. Here, we will also learn some fun facts about Finland.
Locally known as Aleksi, it is of the main streets in the city center with many beautiful art deco buildings, each of which has a lot of amazing stories to tell about the Finnish culture!
Central train station of Helsinki is a beautiful landmark in the city center guarded by four massive statues who have many stories to tell us! We will also pass by two other beautiful buildings: Finland’s national theater and Ateneum museum (Finland’s national gallary).
This is the modern district of the town, surrounded by beautiful post modern buildings, so you will realize why Helsinki was chosen in 2012 as the world’s capital city of design!
Oodi library is the highlight of the tour, where you will need to change the definition of a library you have on mind, because this is different than any libraries you have ever seen, and it is gonna blow your mind!
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
