Private tour in Helsinki

Languages: English

Welcome To Helsinki!

City by the sea, a gateway between east and west. Helsinki is a town big enough to be the capital city of Finland, yet small enough for everyone to comprehend. Right in the centre, there is The Helsinki Lutheran Cathedral (Helsinki Cathedral) and the Senate square, surrounded by buildings from the Russian era, the biggest Orthodox Church in western Europe, The Uspenski Cathedral.

Nearby you´ll find the Market square where many farmers, fishermen and artisans come to sell their goods. West of market square, there´s the Esplanade Park, a promenade with live music on stage, still a big enough to relax in the heart of the city. That is where you can sence the historical and cultural ambiance of Helsinki. Just a block away, the shopping street Aleksanterinkatu awaits you with Finnish and international design shops. In By that street stands Finland´s biggest department store, Stockmann.

You might want to see the founding places of Helsinki, near river Vantaa rapids, when it was the year 1550. Helsinki was founded in 1550 by King Gustav Vasa of Sweden and was intended to compete with the city of Reval (now Tallinn, Estonia), which lies on the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland. Or maybe the house where Jean Sibelius a little further away from the city, the famous Finnish composer lived close to a beautyful lake Tuusula which inspired many Finnish artists by its awesome scenery and landscape. Visit Scandinavia´s biggest shopping centre with almost 500 shops, restaurants, cafés etc. or go hiking in a national park 30 kilometres away from Helsinki´centre. Or if you´re a golfer, there are several golf courses around Helsinki.

I'll be glad to visit Helsinki together. I would like to offer you one of the most interesting places in the world - Helsinki city in Finland. You will memorize this tour as the most interesting event in your life!
