Itinerary:
Day 1 Helsinki, Finland
Check in at your hotel before heading off to explore some of Helsinki’s intriguing architecture. Start with a visit to the abstract Oodi library, a fascinating example of modern design. Pay a visit to ‘Book Heaven’ on the top floor and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding city.
Day 2 Helsinki
Why not start today with a visit to one of the city’s most popular museums, the creative Amos Rex. Built below the city plaza, the exhibition space extends up, bursting out into the square above. Next make your way to Senate Square to see the iconic blue domed Lutheran Cathedral. Finish the day with dinner beside the harbour at one of the delicious street food stalls in Market Square.
Day 3 Helsinki
Today explore one the city’s nearest islands. Regular ferries shuttle visitors back and forth from Market Square to Suomenlinna Island in the Baltic Sea. In summer grab a picnic and relax on one of the grassy cliffs surrounded by fascinating military relics. In winter, when the sea freezes, brave the deck to watch as the boat clears a path through the sea ice on the 20 minute journey. Warm up with a delicious lunch in one of the excellent restaurants.
Day 4 Helsinki to Tallinn, Estonia
This morning take a two hour ferry journey to the Estonian capital of Tallinn. Enjoy the views as you pass through the hundreds of islands of the Helsinki Archipelago. On arrival into Tallinn, make your way to your hotel before taking a walk through the cobbled streets, past the rows of historic merchant houses.
Day 5 Tallinn
Start your exploration of Tallinn Old Town in the Toompea district, home to some of the city’s most iconic monuments. Begin at the Russian Orthodox, Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and Toompea Castle; originally built in the 13th Century, this ostentatious building is now home to the Estonian parliament. This afternoon perhaps visit St Olaf’s Church which was once the tallest building in Europe, those with a head for heights can climb to the top for panoramic views of the surrounding rooftops.
Day 6 Tallinn
Step out of the Old Town and visit peaceful Kadriorg district. Discover the grandeur of Kadriorg Palace and wander through the eclectic mix of manicured gardens.
Day 7 Tallinn
Spend your final morning wandering through the historic city before making your way to the airport for your onward flight.
