Transfer from your train to the superior first class Radisson Blu Plaza (or similar) in the heart of Helsinki, close to the city center, shopping, museums and other attractions. Take the afternoon to explore on your own; the beautiful Old Town area is easily accessible on foot.
Day 2
This morning, a guided city tour shows you highlights such as Senate Square Government Palace, the landmark Cathedral, the Parliament Building and the Olympic Stadium. You will also visit the Sibelius Monument, an abstract piece dedicated to composer Johan “Jean” Sibelius (1865-1957) and designed to express the essence of his music. You have the rest of the day at leisure to discover more of the city. (B)
