Oodi est la superbe bibliothèque centrale d'Helsinki, ouverte en 2018. Connue pour son architecture moderne saisissante, Oodi est plus qu’une simple bibliothèque – c’est un carrefour communautaire dynamique offrant des livres, des espaces créatifs, un cinéma, un café et une vue panoramique sur la ville. Située en face de l'hôtel du Parlement, Oodi est rapidement devenue un symbole de l'innovation, de l'apprentissage et de la culture ouverte finlandaise.
Le stade olympique d'Helsinki, inauguré en 1938 et conçu par Yrjö Lindegren et Toivo Jäntti, est le plus grand stade de Finlande et un monument de l'architecture fonctionnaliste. Il a notamment accueilli les Jeux olympiques d'été de 1952 et reste un site majeur pour les sports et les événements après sa dernière rénovation en 2020.
Le monument de Sibelius est une sculpture célèbre à Helsinki en Finlande, honorant le compositeur Jean Sibelius. Créé par Eila Hiltunen en 1967, il comporte plus de 600 tuyaux en acier et un buste de Sibelius, symbolisant sa musique et son héritage.
La cathédrale d'Uspenski est l'église orthodoxe orientale en briques rouges d'Helsinki, connue pour ses dômes dorés et ses vues sur les collines. C’est la plus grande cathédrale orthodoxe d’Europe occidentale.
La cathédrale d'Helsinki est une église blanche néoclassique avec des dômes verts, donnant sur la place du Sénat. Achevé en 1852, c’est l’un des monuments les plus emblématiques de la ville.
Kauppatori, ou place du marché, est le marché riverain animé d'Helsinki, célèbre pour sa cuisine locale, son artisanat et son atmosphère balnéaire animée. Nous y passerons environ 30 minutes, vous laissant le temps de déguster une cuisine finlandaise ou un léger rafraîchissement tout en profitant du charme unique du marché.
Suomenlinna est une forteresse maritime historique du XVIIIe siècle classée au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, située juste au large de la côte d'Helsinki. Au cours de notre visite, nous passerons environ deux heures à explorer ensemble ses sentiers pittoresques et son histoire fascinante.
Kauppatori signifie « Place du marché » en finnois. Après notre retour de Suomenlinna en ferry, notre visite se termine ici. Vous aurez du temps libre pour explorer les charmants stands, déguster des friandises locales et profiter de l'ambiance animée à votre rythme pour le reste de la journée. La visite devrait se terminer vers 16h.

We had a great time in Helsinki. Alec shared with us the history and cultural heritage of the city. My favorite part was the tasting. Mukki are delicious!
We had a fantastic time in Helsinki. Peka and Alex were knowledgeable and friendly. The tour felt relax and easy going. Very glad we took this tour.
I had been several times visiting Helsinki but never have really had the time to explore. This tour was interesting anf covering a lot about Finlands' culture and heritage. I recommend it.
The small group was wonderful. We made many stops and our driver and tour guide worked around the traffic jams of the Pride Parade. Going to the island via ferry was a great bonus. Would recommend this tour.
Alex was pleasant, informative, polite, and gave a good tour.
We were picked up at our hotel, the last of 7 passengers. We had a driver and a guide. The van style had our 2 seats facing backwards. Which isn't ideal for motion sickness and remembering when the guide says, to your right, etc. Past that to the tour. We had a city tour that was very confusing. We quickly realized that we were traveling as a group with 1 or 2 other vans, that's confusing too. As we'd stop it was confusing if we were to follow our van's guide or connect with the other van. Sometimes a 3rd van mingled with us, other times they did their own tour. It was hard to know. Then the worst was having the guide from van 2 on speaker phone giving a driving tour. First, they were behind us, so we had passed the building he started talking about. But most confusing was, we had him and his van on speaker but we were muted. So we listened without interaction. And that vehicle was able to ask questions or had private jokes we weren't privy to. It was like an auto tour podcast. We were dropped at the market for lunch. Tip: eat in the building, not outside, food looked so much better. There are bathrooms in the building too. After lunch we took a ferry to Suomenlinna for a walking tour. Tour lasted a little longer than we expected, I think due to each van waiting on each other. It was a chaotic tour. Not completely bad, but almost as if this company is new and doesn't have it down yet. The backward seats are horrible. And each van guide should know the buildings to point out. I paid $332 to ride facing the other passengers, struggle to know who to follow and listen to another van's chitchat.
Highly recommend this tour. Get to see the key sights with great commentary and information from the guide Alex and driver/guide Pekka, both amazing at providing information, local context and made it an incredible day.
This was the perfect tour for my first visit to Helsinki. It combined the city’s most important landmarks with a visit to Suomenlinna, one of Finland’s most significant historical sites and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about Finnish history and culture. Throughout the tour, we learned about Helsinki’s unique blend of Scandinavian and Russian influences, visited many of the city’s iconic landmarks, and gained a much deeper appreciation for Finland’s history and way of life. The highlight for me was the ferry ride to Suomenlinna Sea Fortress. Built in the 18th century across a group of islands, the fortress offers spectacular coastal scenery while telling the story of Finland’s Swedish and Russian past. Walking through its historic fortifications, tunnels, churches, and peaceful pathways felt like stepping back through centuries of Nordic history. The tour was well organized, transportation was seamless, and the pace struck a great balance between guided commentary and free time to explore, take photographs, and simply enjoy the surroundings. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Helsinki for the first time. It provides an excellent overview of the city while including one of Finland’s most iconic attractions, making it an outstanding value and one of the highlights of my trip.
