Check availability →Good to know: The ferry takes about two hours each way, and the most-reviewed day ticket leaves up to 9.5 hours in Tallinn. Take your passport or ID card. Lapland is not a day trip: Rovaniemi is roughly 700 km north and a flight away, so we do not list Lapland tours here. The lowest prices are plain ferry tickets.
Good to know
By ferry. The crossing takes about two hours each way and several companies sail every day. A day trip works: the most-reviewed day ticket leaves up to 9.5 hours in Tallinn, enough for the Old Town and not much more. Take your passport or ID card. Our list has plain ferry tickets from around €12 and guided day tours that include the crossing.
Suomenlinna is a sea fortress on a group of islands off the harbour, reached by a short ferry ride. The ferry ticket from the harbour starts at €9.90 in our list, and guided walks and a museum ticket are bookable too. Plan half a day, more if you want to walk all the islands.
Not in Helsinki itself. Northern lights tours, husky safaris and Santa Claus Village are in Lapland, roughly 700 km north and a flight away. We removed Lapland offers from this list on purpose, so they do not look like day trips. Near Helsinki you can visit reindeer farms and snowshoe or hike in Nuuksio National Park.
Public saunas by the sea, such as Löyly, sell entry tickets in advance (€29 in our list), and floating saunas and private sauna boats are priced very differently, from about €12.60 up to several hundred euros. Check on each booking page whether towels are included and whether the session is shared or private.
The half-day tours in our list take around five hours including the transfer, with guided hikes through forest and lakes. Seasonal trips such as berry picking or snowshoeing run only at the right time of year; dates and minimum age are on each booking page.
City walks, boat cruises, the zoo and the Nuuksio hikes usually are, but age limits and pace differ by operator and are stated on each booking page. Beer tastings and brewery tours are not meant for children; check the minimum age before you book.
Walking tours and archipelago cruises start several times a day and often have places left. Small-group day trips, private tours and anything around the Christmas season fill up sooner. Free cancellation depends on the tour and is shown on the booking page before you pay.
