Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
Please note that a moderate level of fitness is required for walking tours - as there are steps to climb, and cobble stone sidewalks. We will be on our feet for around 2-2.5 hours in total.
Senate Square
The statue of Tsar Alexander the 2nd in the center of the Senate Square, marks the start point of the tour. This is the most historical part of Helsinki, and some say the most beautiful - with it's Russian Neoclassic architecture. Here we can see the Helsinki Cathedral, the University of Helsinki, and a great viewpoint of the Senate Square for photos.
Helsinki Cathedral
Following our visit to the Senate Square, our next stop is the White Helsinki Cathedral. Perhaps one of the most impressive buildings in Helsinki, it is also the most visited building. We will allow a little time to visit inside (providing there are no services or weddings), and we will allow time to take photos of this building so you have a souvenir to take home.

A really great way to see the city & hear some of the history & interesting facts. Definitely worth doing. Takes a couple of hours. Our guide was absolutely lovely & answered our questions. She took the time to chat to us individually which was really nice.

Eero was a great guide! All the information he shared was interesting and helpful to better understand Helsinki and Finland as a whole. He responded very well to questions and kept the group engaged (and we were a big group). Highly recommend!
