Itinerary
DAY 1
Helsinki
Helsinki
Beginning in the capital city of Finland – Helsinki. We will first show you the beautiful Temppeliaukion Church, an example of groundbreaking Finnish design. Then we will explore the city’s most prominent cathedrals: the Helsinki Cathedral and Uspenski Cathedral. Constructed in the 1800s, the cathedrals were built while Finland was a part of Russia. Now, the cathedrals are landmarks of Helsinki. Wander the outdoor Kauppatori Market filled with everything from local produce to souvenirs, Kauppatori creates a vibrant atmosphere within the city. Afterward, we will continue our visit with a touch of nature: we will visit the Esplanadi Park, and the Sibelius Park. In the heart of the latter sits a monument to Sibelius: a renowned Finnish composer accredited with helping Finland develop a national identity. The park is on the waterfront of a large bay with one of the best cafés in Helsinki nearby.
Your day will conclude in your double hotel room.
