    Helsinki Cathedral or the White cathedral is the most famous landmark in the town that you have probably seen pictures of.

(The church is closed during the church services, usually on Sunday mornings). In the summer season there is an entrance fee of 8€ to visit the church, so we will visit it from outside only.

    "Torille" is a famous Finnish phrase, which means "to the market" ! Let´s visit the market square to find out what that means! What Finns usually eat or drink, and what can you buy from Helsinki to take home with you? The gulf of Finland has probably many stories to tell us about Helsinki as it has seen many battles throughout the history. Market square is located by the Gulf of Finland with views to Suomenlinna island, one of the many beautiful islands in the gulf, which is a highly recommended place to visit as it is a UNESCO heritage site. We will of course help you how to get to the island.
