Passengers on a cruise stop at Helsinki Port will find the journey into port very scenic, since the liners have to cruise between several small islands in order to reach the commercial port.
The port is around a 15 minute drive from the centre of Helsinki and most passengers take the shuttle service from the port to Kauppatori Market Square or the Swedish Theatre. The city is easy to explore on foot, plus there are many hop-on, hop-off bus tours operating here.
Visitors can also take advantage of the many boat tours of Helsinki’s waterways. Attractions to include during a shore trip include Senate Square – home to the Lutheran Cathedral, the National Museum of Finland, the Design Museum and Sibelius Park.
there is time passengers are highly recommended to take a short ferry trip to Suomenlinna Sea Fortress which houses several fascinating museums and historic buildings.
