Taking a 3-hour Helsinki shore excursion by bus you will see the rich architectural heritage of the main city of Finland and the Senate Square. You will pass by Uspensky Cathedral with its impressive golden domes that were built in the 19th century to draw large numbers of Russian believers. On our way to the heart of Helsinki, Esplanadi, the most famous fashion center of Finland, you will also see the Presidential Palace. Our next stop is in one of the most famous streets in Helsinki, Mannerheimintie, where the House of Parliament, the National Museum (the creation of a famous architect Alvar Aalto) and several other sights are located.
The route lies past the Olympic Stadium, which hosted the Olympics of 1952. A stop in Sibelius Park, which was dedicated to a famous Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, will open a monument built in his honor to your view.
After that you will visit a striking modern Temppeliaukio Church. This rock-temple is famous for its excellent acoustics and has become a popular concert venue.
Our 7-hour Helsinki shore tour offers you (apart from the Helsinki sightseeing tour) to visit a famous medieval town of Porvoo, the second oldest city in Finland. Its Old Town is the heart of Finnish medieval history and architecture. Buildings from Middle Ages can still be found here and there.

Some facts about Helsinki

Being called the "Daughter of the Baltic", Helsinki, the capital of Finland, is located on the tip of a peninsula surrounded by an archipelago of 315 islands.

The population of the city is close to half a million and the buildings only have 12 floors, so provincial Helsinki retains an aesthetic, but creative, modern city.

Helsinki became the capital when Finland gained independence from Russia in 1917. The new republic prospered over the years 20 and 30 of the twentieth century, an era when architect Alvar Aalto added the architectural currents of modernism and functionalism to the city. The unique blend of East and West in Helsinki's cultural scene has its maximum representation in the contrast between the simple lines of Finlandia Hall and the rich decoration of the golden dome of the Uspensky Cathedral. The center of the city, designed by German architect Carl Angel, resembles a miniature version of neoclassical St. Petersburg and can be explored easily on foot.
