Want to step away from standard tourist routes and guidebooks to see Helsinki through the eyes of locals? On our tour, you will get to explore the city from different angles, appreciate its architectural contrasts, and immerse yourself in the tranquil atmosphere of the coastal capital. I will share the most interesting facts about Helsinki and provide valuable tips to help you feel like a local and a true Finn.
What to Expect
Everything you need to know about Helsinki
- Is Helsinki a he or a she? Which famous Russian critic was born in Suomenlinna? What's the connection between Helsinki and the cruiser 'Aurora'? Where in Helsinki can you see boats accommodating 100 people at once? I will answer all these questions and share many more interesting facts. You will witness different sides of Helsinki - colorful wooden houses, quarters with mansions of wealthy Swedish merchants, and unique houses in the style of national romanticism (Finnish modernism). You will feel the salty breath of the city by the sea and the fresh wind of spacious green parks.
- Throughout the tour, I will try to introduce you to the city through details that may go unnoticed but sometimes tell more about the city and its inhabitants than the most extensive guidebook. Urban legends, local traditions - these will also be the subjects of our tour.
Who is the Tour For
The tour is suitable for anyone who actively seeks non-standard routes and wants to see the vibrant life of the city and its inhabitants. For those who are open to the world, to everything new and unknown. I am ready and love working with children!
