Venture into the wooded Sipoo district for a glimpse of traditional country life, and then see some Helsinki's most noted sights.
Departing your ship, you'll board your motorcoach for a narrated tour, traveling along the shoreline for views of Suomenlinna Fortress, as you head for the lush Sipoo district. Your first stop is the picturesque St. Sigfrid's Church which dates back to the 15th century. From there, you'll go to a traditional Finnish country home, for an introduction to Finnish life and customs.
After a tour and some traditional refreshments, you'll return to the city to see Senate Square, the center for arts, culture, religion, politics and education. Famed architect Carl Ludvig Engel designed its four main buildings in the early 19th Century.
Notes: St. Sigfrid's Church is sometimes closed for religious observances and private functions; entry not guaranteed. St. Sigfrid's Church is closed most Saturdays and Sundays. Your home visit requires moderate walking over uneven surfaces and negotiating some steps. Tour order may vary.
