About this experience

Helsinki Sightseeing Tour & Seurasaari Open-Air Museum This comprehensive Helsinki tour combines the city's most significant landmarks with an authentic look at Finnish rural heritage. You'll explore Helsinki's architectural highlights aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned coach before heading to Seurasaari island for an immersive open-air museum experience. Your guided tour covers Helsinki's key sights including the Olympic Stadium, Sibelius Monument, Market Square, and the striking Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral.

The museum visit takes you through woodland trails where your guide shares stories about the people who once lived in these historic buildings. You'll discover traditional crafts and customs that shaped Finnish society, all set within the peaceful island environment.
