5.00It was a nice half day trip, perfect for a group or solo. Plenty to experience and see. It has a nice harbor view as an add value. Go first thing in the morning as later on becomes very busy. I took the 9:00 AM ferry and it was comfortable.

Fun erry ride to and from Suomenlinna Maritime Fortress

4.00The ferry ride to and from Suomenlinna Maritime Fortress was fun and also quick. We bought a one-day transit pass, which includes passage on all buses, trams, subways in the A & B zones of Helsinki - it also includes passage on the ferry. The harbor was frozen over, so the ferry was breaking ice each way, which was fun (it wasn't thick ice, so no worries). There are places inside to watch the passage and stay warm, or you can go outside and watch the bow press through the ice.
