Helsinki, Finland Port Reviews

Helsinki is a big city with little character. Glad I got to see it but not someplace I'd return.

Spoilt by the weather and building work. Hop on bus enabled us to see some of the town through steamed up windows.

very expensive, recommend the hop-on, hop-off bus (cheaper to get it at the port than through the ship and you only walk about 500 feet further).

Did this on our own, next time I would do the Hop on and Hop off first then walk to spots. We walked everywhere but really had limited information about each spot. Had some gorgeous pictures with amazing views. Looks like an area that has a lot to offer, not my favorite port but we still enjoyed it.

We walked the short distance from the ship to the bus stop and bought a day ticket for zones AB for 8 Euros. We took the tram into the city centre to walk around the main sights. The ticket is great value as it covers the water buses. We took the water bus to the fort at Suomenlinna, a lovely coastal path walk and great views. On return we continued to explore the city and visited Temppeliauko Church and the Sibelius monument before getting the tram back to the ship. Even with our occasion use of the tram we still managed to walk 11 miles in total. A fantastic port destination.

Again, the cruise line arranged a shuttle bus to one of the most popular locations in the city city. From there we walked to many great locations. Wonderful city

Charming town, lovely shops including an indoor market. Great spot for a danish and coffee.

Nice system of parks, but port is a long walk from center.

We walked the city on our own.
