Start out with a transfer to Porvoo, approximately 30 miles (50 km) from Helsinki. You'll step back in time as you wander through its medieval streets. The cobblestone lanes and colorful wooden houses create a quaint and picturesque setting, ideal for a leisurely exploration on your own. You may wish to visit Porvoo Cathedral — a stunning Gothic-style church that dates back to the 13th century. The Old Town is a highlight, with charming boutiques, artisan shops, and the iconic wooden houses along the riverbank.
Return to Helsinki to explore Finland's vibrant capital. Begin at the Rock Church (Temppeliaukio Church) — one of the city's architectural masterpieces. Seated in solid bedrock, this stunning church offers a serene atmosphere, with its copper dome and natural light.
Explore Senate Square, home to the grand Helsinki Cathedral that is synonymous with Finnish culture and identity, and stroll through the pedestrian-friendly streets of Esplanade Park — a perfect spot to relax and take in the surroundings. Time permitting, visit Market Square for local handicrafts, fresh Finnish delicacies, and a lively atmosphere.
Notes:
Guide service, taxi transfers, entrance fees and lunch are not included in the transfer price. It is your responsibility to be at the pick-up point at the given return time. An English-speaking escort will be aboard the transfer motorcoach to answer questions en route. Bring local currency, as many vendors do not accept credit cards or US dollars. Travel time to Porvoo is approximately one hour each way.
