Excursions

Examples of Excursions

Helsinki’s proximity to the sea and surrounding nature offer an ideal setting for a wide range of excursions and activities. 

Suomenlinna

Suomenlinna sea fortress is a Unesco World Heritage Site located on the coast of Helsinki, and also a suburb of Helsinki with around 800 residents.

The fortress was shaped by three historic eras when it helped to defend first Sweden, then Russia and ultimately Finland. There are six kilometres of walls, 100 cannons, exciting tunnels, and beautiful parks.

A visit to Suomenlinna with a guided tour is a perfect excursion efter a busy day. Suomenlinna is easily accessible by ferry (included in Helsnki public transport system) from the market square.

Allas Sea Pool

Allas Sea Pool is a marine spa and an oasis of urban culture right at the heart of the city. It offers new ways of enjoying the Baltic Sea, just a stone's throw away from the Market Square and other main attractions. Allas is open all year round, providing unique experiences and recreational activities. The marine spa has three saunas, two warm water pools and one sea water pool, to which the water is pumped from nearby streams and filtered clean. In addition to these, there's also a café, restaurant Seagrill and Allas Sky Bar. 

Porvoo

The idyllic Porvoo is less than an hour away from Helsinki. Founded nearly 800 years ago, Porvoo is the second oldest city in Finland, best known for its unique Old Town district, high quality restaurants and charming cafés as well as the iconic riverside warehouses.

Nuuksio

Nuuksio National Park – a large unspoiled nature preserve with numerous trails winding through quiet forested hillsides and valleys with several lakes, ponds, and marshlands rich in flora and fauna.

Nuuksio is a fantastic daytrip destination for all kinds of activities: shorter and longer hikes, canoeing, mountain biking, guided nature tours.
