Once onboard your 3 stop transfer, you will be provided with a map of Helsinki, so you can plan your free time.
Venture into the heart of the city centre to indulge in a spot of retail therapy or visit the famous Temppeliaukio Church. ‘The Rock Church’, as it is more commonly known is an architectural masterpiece, the interior was excavated and built into the rock and the ceiling clad in copper.
At Sibelius Park, view the magnificent Sibelius Monument dedicated to the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, which caused some controversy when it was first unveiled; the 600 hollow steel pipes in a wave-like pattern capture the spirit of Sibelius’s music. Enjoy some time to make your own mind up about this piece of abstract art.
Finally call at the thriving Market Square where you can discover a myriad of local produce and goods for sale or take a short walk to the neo-classical Senate Square with its elegant public buildings and imposing Lutheran Cathedral.
