Things to do in Helsinki

Buy your tickets online in advance to avoid waiting in line at the venue and enjoy quick entry by scanning your ticket. The interior architecture is very unique. We recommend visiting in the morning or at midday when there is ample sunlight to experience the beautiful and stunning effect of light filtering in through the side windows at the top.

In 48 hours, I was able to enjoy four museums, churches, the Kamppi Chapel, and even Suomenlinna Island. I definitely feel like I got my money's worth, and best of all, it was so convenient not having to buy tickets at museums or for the train.

boarded the ferry from Helsinki and the guide was waiting at a prominent area upon exiting the ferry in Tallinn. Sergei was our guide and he has such a good sense of humour. he makes a lot of effort to connect with the guests on the tour to help them contextualise the point he was trying to illustrate by giving examples of the various countries. he is highly knowledgeable and answers our questions happily. very attentive to guests needs as well. he even recommended us several Estonian restaurants serving authentic food and cautioned us of certain ‘traps’ that might not be authentic. Tallinn old town is charming and worth a visit if you’re into medieval towns . definitely 10/10, highly recommended!

Taking a cruise in Helsinki allows you to see famous sights, with detailed explanations of attractions provided via English audio commentary on board. Enjoying the scenery from the shore is very pleasant, and if it's too windy on deck, you can move indoors to admire the views. Buying boat tickets on Klook ensures you won't miss out, and your itinerary will be well-planned. After the cruise, you can explore the market by the pier and have lunch, which offers a unique local experience.

It's so friendly and good that I'd want to come back again. I highly recommend trying it when you visit Helsinki. I'm leaving with great memories!
