What To Expect
Central Library Oodi
Oodi is Helsinki’s stunning central library, opened in 2018. Known for its striking modern architecture, Oodi is more than just a library—it’s a vibrant community hub offering books, creative spaces, a cinema, café, and panoramic city views. Located opposite Parliament House, Oodi has quickly become a symbol of Finnish innovation, learning, and open culture.
Olympic Stadium (Olympiastadion)
The Helsinki Olympic Stadium, opened in 1938 and designed by Yrjö Lindegren and Toivo Jäntti, is Finland’s largest stadium and a landmark of functionalist architecture. It famously hosted the 1952 Summer Olympics and remains a major venue for sports and events after its latest renovation in 2020.

5.00Let me start by saying that I have NEVER had a bad experience using Viator and this was no exception - well planned out, friendly, experienced and knowledgeable tour guide - just totally top notch!

5.00An excellent overview tour that combined bus, ferry and foot touring. I learned a lot and loved it. Just four people in our group and two guides, Sergio and Alexander. They were patient and adapted the tour to the pace of the group. I found the two guides informative and friendly. Pickka (I hope I spelt that correctly), our mini bus driver, was very entertaining and also full of fun facts. One suggestion is to, perhaps, include an extra coffee stop.
Great trip for first timers!

It was an excellent tour...

5.00It was an excellent tour mainly because we were picked up at our cruise ship terminal and dropped off there after our tour. It was so nice that we didn’t have to worry about missing our boat. Our guide Sergio is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. It was nice of him to give us a magnet of Helsinki Only wish we could have gone somewhere else or given some ideas of where to have lunch instead of the food market by the ferry terminal. The food was expensive and poor quality and so was the coffee stands. Big disappointment.
City Tour and Fort

4.00Sergio picked us up at our hotel. He is friendly and knowledgeable about the sights we visited. The tour took us to sights downtown and near the harbor. The ferry ride to and from the fort took about 10 minutes. The fort was very interesting.
Great tour!

4.00It depends on the tour guide, it was a bit disorganized.. car broke down and guide lacked experience.. maybe a loudspeaker would help.. at times it was rushed.
