HELSINKI WALKING TOUR & TRAM

​ Discover Helsinki like a local on foot and by tram, without missing the main sights, even if you want to be spontaneous and follow your curiosity.

This tour is designed for visitors who want more than a checklist of sights.

Walking and using the tram allows you to experience Helsinki as it is lived today, while expert guidance connects iconic buildings and public spaces to the city’s cultural and historical background. The result is a well-paced introduction that balances orientation, insight, and enjoyment.

 Moving on foot and by tram, the route covers the major sights in the core city, like Senate Square and the Esplanades, Eliel Saarinen's Train Station, the stunning Oodi Central Library, Parliament building, Finlandia Hall, and Musiikkitalo concert hall with its striking new organ.

A visit to the "Rock Church" (Temppeliaukion Kirkko) will be included on request, and the tour can be flexibly adapted to your personal preferences in any case.

Tram rides are used to cover distances efficiently and to experience a popular means of local transport, allowing the tour to remain relaxed while covering a broad range of sights. Along the way, you will hear facts and stories about history, architecture, and everyday life, and you get tips concerning cafés, restaurants, design shops or whatever you are looking for.
