Helsinki of Many Faces: a Walk through Centuries
À propos de cette expérience
Helsinki is the only European capital built during one historical time period. The city presents a unique combination of traditions and modern development, bearing at the same time imperial dignity and innovative spirit, historical elegance, and Instagram vibes.
You will stroll along the Esplanades boulevard, surrounded by century-old lindens, walk the gorgeous streets from the times of the Tsars, see amazing buildings in Jugendstil, while in turn being watched by granite trolls and other creatures lurking at you from the walls.
During the tour, you will learn how Helsinki has flourished, having become a part of the Russian Empire and what kind of presents Finland is treating itself to. You will also discover a sauna on a sky wheel, an underground data centre, and a lake hidden in the heart of the city.
The soul of Helsinki is reflected in the atmospheric Marketplace with its coffee aromas, all-year-round sea pool, and the most modern library in the world with live trees growing inside.
The tour is suitable for all ages, the only things you’ll need are comfortable shoes and a good mood!
