5-Day in Finland and Estonia in Summer Time

Beginning in the capital city of Finland – Helsinki. We will first show you the beautiful Temppeliaukion Church, an example of groundbreaking Finnish design. Then we will explore the city’s most prominent cathedrals: the Helsinki Cathedral and Uspenski Cathedral. Constructed in the 1800s, the cathedrals were built while Finland was a part of Russia. Now, the cathedrals are landmarks of Helsinki. Wander the outdoor Kauppatori Market filled with everything from local produce to souvenirs, Kauppatori creates a vibrant atmosphere within the city. Afterward, we will continue our visit with a touch of nature: we will visit the Esplanadi Park, and the Sibelius Park. In the heart of the latter sits a monument to Sibelius: a renowned Finnish composer accredited with helping Finland develop a national identity. The park is on the waterfront of a large bay with one of the best cafés in Helsinki nearby. Your day will conclude in your double hotel room. 

Today we will travel to another important Finnish city, Turku. Turku is home to the Moomin World, a theme park based on the Moomin book and this cute character. Turku is also famous for its castle and cathedral. Turku Castle, standing on the banks of the Aura River, was founded in the late 13th century, just like the cathedral. The cathedral was originally built out of wood, and it was badly damaged during the Great Fire of Turk, in 1827. We will provide accommodation in a nice double hotel room.

Today we will return to Helsinki in order to explore all the wonders the city has to offer. Suomenlinna is located on the three islands of Helsinki. It was designed by a Swedish military architect, Augustin Ehrensvrd 250 years ago to defend against the invasion from Russia. Suomenlinna has been in the list of World Heritage sites since 1991, and today we are going to lead you to explore the mysterious place. In the afternoon, we will visit Hakaniemi Market, a lively street marketplace. Your day will conclude in your double hotel room.
