What to expect
Oodi is Helsinki’s stunning central library, opened in 2018. Known for its striking modern architecture, Oodi is more than just a library—it’s a vibrant community hub offering books, creative spaces, a cinema, café, and panoramic city views. Located opposite Parliament House, Oodi has quickly become a symbol of Finnish innovation, learning, and open culture.
The Helsinki Olympic Stadium, opened in 1938 and designed by Yrjö Lindegren and Toivo Jäntti, is Finland’s largest stadium and a landmark of functionalist architecture. It famously hosted the 1952 Summer Olympics and remains a major venue for sports and events after its latest renovation in 2020.
The Sibelius Monument is a famous sculpture in Helsinki, Finland, honoring composer Jean Sibelius. Created by Eila Hiltunen in 1967, it features over 600 steel pipes and a bust of Sibelius, symbolizing his music and legacy.
Uspenski Cathedral is Helsinki’s striking red-brick Eastern Orthodox church, known for its golden domes and hilltop views. It’s the largest Orthodox cathedral in Western Europe.
Helsinki Cathedral is a neoclassical white church with green domes, overlooking Senate Square. Completed in 1852, it’s one of the city’s most iconic landmarks.
Kauppatori, or Market Square, is Helsinki’s lively waterfront market, famous for its local food, crafts, and vibrant seaside atmosphere. We’ll spend about 30 minutes here, giving you time to enjoy Finnish cuisine or a light refreshment while soaking in the market’s unique charm.
Suomenlinna is a historic 18th-century sea fortress and UNESCO World Heritage Site located just off the coast of Helsinki. During our visit, we’ll spend about two hours exploring its scenic pathways and fascinating history together.
Kauppatori means “Market Square” in Finnish. After we return from Suomenlinna by ferry, our tour concludes here. You’ll have free time to explore the charming stalls, sample local treats, and enjoy the lively atmosphere at your own pace for the rest of the day.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
