Frequently asked questions

How do I get from Helsinki to Tallinn, and is a day trip realistic?

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.

Is Suomenlinna worth a visit, and how do I get there?

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.

Can I see the northern lights or go husky sledding from Helsinki?

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.

Do I need to book a sauna in advance?

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.

How long is a trip to Nuuksio National Park?

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.

Are the tours suitable for children?

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.

How far in advance should I 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.
