There are numerous places of interest in Helsinki and the immediate surroundings that are easy to visit by yourself or, if you wish, with an expert guide. The best way to get acquainted with Helsinki is one of the many city sightseeing tours. They are an ideal way to get to know Helsinki's sights and special attractions, including the historical city center and diplomatic quarter, the Presidential Palace, City Hall, the Parliament building, Finlandia Hall and the Opera House, stops at Senate Square, the Sibelius Monument and, when possible, Temppeliaukio Church - The Rock Church. A golden chance to admire Helsinki's elegant skyline from the sea, get right up close to Finnish ice breakers and pass almost within touching distance of the imposing Suomenlinna island fortress, guarding the entrance to the harbor. Enjoy the evening sun, the exhilarating sea air and Helsinki's glorious archipelago for three hours as you dine.
Live music adds to the atmosphere.
