The Private Accessible 6 hour Helsinki Shore Excursion gives you an in-depth look at the capital city of Finland.  Enjoy the unique personality of this city while learning about its deep-rooted history and interesting facts from your professional tour guide during your full day accessible shore excursion.

Your day will begin with your guide and driver picking you up at the Helsinki cruise dock or accessible hotel in your private, wheelchair accessible van. Sit back, relax and enjoy your short ride into the beautiful and historical city center to begin your professionally guided tour.

One of the first stops on this accessible shore excursion of Helsinki is Lutheran Cathedral at the Senate Square. The distinctive landmark was built in the mid 1800’s as a tribute to the Grand Duke, Tsar Nicholas I of Russia. Visit the Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral, the largest Orthodox Church in Western Europe, from its location on top of a hillside overlooking the city. 

This Helsinki accessible shore excursion also takes you to Market Square: a square and bustling marketplace in the middle of Helsinki that sells souvenirs from the unique artisan shops and fresh Finnish delicacies, including their famous “meat pastries”. If you happen to travel in early October, you will get to explore the annual Helsinki herring market where herring is sold directly from the boats that arrive in the harbor. Once you had your fill of shopping and good treats,continue down the Esplanadi Boulevard. The large green area in between the parallel streets often serves a park for the local residents and can often be seen filled with picnicking families and others enjoying the outdoors.

Round out your day on this accessible Helsinki shore excursion with a visit to Kamppi Chapel. Also known as the “Chapel of Silence”, it is located in one of the busiest areas of Finland and is meant to be a place to slow down and have a moment of silence.
