Itinerary

  • Senate Square

    Senate square is our meeting point, and it is probably the main tourist attraction, where the history of modern Helsinki begins. Here we will discover the three beautiful buildings around us!

    20 minutes
  • Helsinki Cathedral

    Helsinki Cathedral or the White cathedral is the most famous landmark in the city that you have probably seen pictures of. If the church is open, we can go inside and learn about the religious mindset in Finland. If we are lucky, we can also enjoy some music inside the church! (8€ entry fee in the summers, so we don’t go inside the church in the summer time)

    15 minutes
  • Kauppatori

    "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?

    GULF OF FINLAND AND SUOMENLINNA

    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.

    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.
