day 1Join trip in the Finnish capital Helsinki .Guided walking tour
Our journey starts in the Finnish capital Helsinki. Located on the shores of the Gulf of Finland, the city is a charming blend of urban culture and coastal nature.
For those arriving in time, our tour leader plans to meet you in the hotel reception at 5pm for a welcome meeting. If you'd like an airport transfer today, you'll need to arrive into Helsinki International Airport (HEL), which is a 20 minute drive from our hotel. Should you miss the welcome meeting, your Tour Leader will inform you of any essential information as soon as you catch up.
After the welcome meeting we'll head out for a short guided walking tour of Helsinki with a local guide to gain an insight into the city's history and help us get our bearings. We will start with a 15-minute tram ride into the old town, where we visit to the Moomin shop, take a stroll down Esplanadin Puisto to the harbour to admire the Orthodox Church and Lutheran Cathedral from afar, and passing by the train station before stepping inside the state library. Afterwards, for those that wish, there is the chance to go out for a group dinner.
