Experience two capitals on the Baltic Sea: Helsinki and Tallinn. In Helsinki, Eastern and Western cultures meet, and modern architecture and design meet the sea and nature. The Estonian capital, Tallinn, is a modern city with a medieval flair, where the highlight is the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town.

Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival in Helsinki

Arrival in Helsinki and transfer from the airport to a centrally located hotel. Depending on arrival time, your travellers can explore the Finnish capital on their own.

 

Day 2: Helsinki

This day is dedicated entirely to the Finnish capital. On a city tour the travellers will learn a wealth of interesting facts about the city, see key parts of Helsinki, such as the historic centre and diplomatic quarter, the City Hall and Finlandia Hall, and stop at Senate Square and the Sibelius Monument. The afternoon is at leisure for further exploration.

 

Day 3: Porvoo

Today it is time for a day trip to Porvoo, Finland's second-oldest city. Porvoo was granted city rights already in the mid-14th century. The waterfront warehouses, cobblestone streets, and idyllic courtyards give the old town a unique historic atmosphere.

 

Day 4: Tallinn

In the morning, transfer to the port and ferry crossing to Tallinn (approx. 2 hours). Upon arrival in the Estonian capital, the group will be met by a local guide. The approximately 3-hour city tour will includes a visit to Kadriorg Park, and concludes in the Old Town, with its winding cobblestone streets and old buildings dating from the 11th to 15th centuries. Afterwards free time, and in the evening the travellers return by ferry to Helsinki.

 

Day 5: Departure from Helsinki

Today it's time to say goodbye to Helsinki. A transfer takes the group to Helsinki Airport, from where they begin their journey home.
