HELSINKI WALKING TOUR & TRAM

HELSINKI WALKING TOUR & TRAM


3 hours

Easy

Discover Helsinki like a local on foot and by tram

Walking and using the tram allows you to experience Helsinki as it is lived today, while expert guidance connects iconic buildings and public spaces  to the city’s cultural and historical background. The result is a well-paced introduction that balances orientation, insight, and enjoyment. If you want to be spontaneous and change direction, your guide makes sure you still get to see the main sights.

The route covers the major sights in the core city, like Senate Square and the Esplanades, Eliel Saarinen's Train  Station, the stunning Oodi Central Library, Parliament building,  Finlandia Hall, and Musiikkitalo concert hall with its striking new organ.

A  visit to the "Rock Church" (Temppeliaukion Kirkko) can be included on request, and the tour can be flexibly adapted to your personal  preferences in any case.

Tram rides are used to cover distances efficiently and to experience a  popular means of local transport, allowing the tour to remain relaxed  while covering a broad range of sights. Along the way, you will hear facts and stories about history, architecture, and everyday life, and you get tips concerning cafés, restaurants, design shops or specific interests of yours. First-time visitors seeking a comprehensive overview, guests interested in architecture and cultural background, and travelers who prefer a mix of active walking and relaxed sightseeing from the tram will appreciate this tour.
