Finland Holiday Itinerary
Day 1: Welcome to Helsinki
On your arrival at Helsinki airport a driver will wait for you in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name on it and will drive you to your accommodation. The journey takes about 30 minutes.
If you arrive early and would like to do some additional activities or find information on where to eat and what to do and see, check out our destinations page. If you’d like to add any additional tours or activities to your Finland holiday package, please let us know.
Day 2: Helsinki Walking Tour
Today you will do a city tour of Helsinki centre. Tour includes everything there is to know about the Finnish Culture and History and focuses especially on the life of the locals. Helsinki is a compact city and best approached on foot. Walking tour is also by far the most sustainable and environmentally friendly way to conduct sightseeing.
Free time: In the afternoon, head to Suomenlinna, one of the main tourist attractions in Helsinki. Suomenlinna is easily accessible by ferry from Market Square, opposite the Presidential Palace. Discover the military architecture, museums, parks, churches, libraries, cafés, and restaurants, all dotted around the group of islands of Suomenlinna. Alternatively this can be added as an extra tour for an additional fee. If you’d like to add this to your Finland vacation package, please contact us for more information.
Day 3: Porvoo Day Trip
Today you will do a half-day tour to Porvoo. Just 50 km east of Helsinki an idyllic and historical city of Porvoo awaits. The city is one of the oldest ones in Finland, which is reflected in its medieval town plan and old wooden houses. Porvoo old town with its beautiful river scene is part of the national landscape of Finland. Together with your guide you will catch a public bus to Porvoo and once there do a guided tour of the city and have some free time before heading back to Helsinki again by bus. This is the most sustainable way of travelling but for an additional fee this Porvoo day tour could be done by private car as well.
Alternatively why not visit a totally new country and go on a day trip to Tallinn, Estonia. Tallinn is a lively yet peaceful, photogenic and charming city full of wonderful sights and rich culture. A city that combines the modern world with ancient churches, medieval streetscapes and noble merchants’ houses. The UNESCO listed Old Town is one of the best preserved Hanseatic town centres in the world. Cobble stoned streets, narrow alleyways and charming courtyards, all can be seen during your trip to Tallinn. A stone’s throw away you’ll find the city’s business centre with modern towers, trendy bohemian neighbourhoods, manicured 18th-century park, promenades and sandy beaches.
Day 4: Helsinki to Tampere by Train, Tampere City Tour
It’s time to say goodbye to Helsinki and travel to Tampere by train. In the morning your driver will pick you up from your accommodation and take you to the railway station for your departing train. On arrival in Tampere another driver is waiting for you at the station and will take you directly to your hotel in the centre of Tampere. After your arrival it’s time to do a short city tour of Tampere. During the tour you will discover the beautiful scenery and interesting attractions of the city centre. The shores of Tammerkoski rapids are full of history, nature, bridges, architecture, culture, industrial past, and new urban life which we can explore on a walking tour in the city centre along the rapids.

Cycle peacefully by the sea and through leafy forests, visit lovely restaurants and cafes or pack a nice picnic with you and enjoy the island vibes.
