Overview
Explore Helsinki's main historical landmarks, the Sibelius Monument, and the Seurasaari open-air museum. Experience the charm of the old city, wooden houses on an island, and a serene forest all in one tour!
Our tour is a delightful mix of walking and driving. We start by exploring the historical center of Helsinki, which is small and cozy, on foot. We drive through Helsinki's scenic routes, including the Eira district with its charming streets and sea views, and Sibelius Park by the sea.
At Seurasaari enchanting island you can see what Finland is really like: wooden houses, an old church, boats, the sea, friendly squirrels begging for nuts. Immerse yourself in the Finnish forest and listen to the sounds of nature. Entrance to the island is FREE through the whole year! The museum operates from 15.05 to 15.09.
