Helsinki Small Group Walking Tour - With Arto

Hey there, Helsinki adventurers! Ready for a whirlwind tour of the coolest spots in town? Strap on your comfiest shoes because we're about to embark on a 5km journey through the heart of Finnish awesomeness!

In just three hours, you'll zip through Helsinki's greatest hits. From the statuesque Senate Square to the party-loving Oodi Library, more landmarks will be seen than you can shake a sauna whisk at!

But this isn't your grandma's history lesson (unless your grandma is a hilarious Finnish stand-up comedian). Instead of being drowned in dates, the juicy stuff will be dived into. Why is that statue giving you the side-eye? How did Finland decide to become a country? (Spoiler: it wasn't a drunken bet... probably.)

You'll get the inside scoop on Finnish culture, from their coffee obsession to their, let's say, "unique" traditions. Ever heard of wife-carrying competitions? Oh, that will be talked about!

Each tour is as unique as a snowflake (and a thing or two is known about those). Feel free to chip in with questions or share your own fun facts. Who knows, you might teach the tour guide something new about their own city!

We'll stroll at a leisurely pace over sidewalks and cobblestones, with just a few gentle hills to keep things interesting. And because the Finns are practical folks, there's even a free toilet break.

Winter visitors, heads up: snow might add a slight challenge, but don't let that scare you off. It's the perfect excuse to practice your penguin walk!

So, are you ready to discover Helsinki like a local (but with better jokes)? Let's go make some memories, have some laughs, and maybe even solve the mystery of why Finns are so darn happy. Spoiler alert: it might have something to do with all the coffee and saunas!

The tour departure location is next to the only statue on The Senate Square.
