Helsinki weekend breaks

Finland’s capital city Helsinki is fast becoming a favourite for weekend breaks. In the summer the long daylight hours bring Helsinki alive and taking a break at a city restaurant, by the Baltic Sea in the sun, late at night is a great experience. Then in December you can put on the winter woollies and get in the festive spirit at the Christmas Markets in Esplanade Park. Take in the sights on Helsinki breaks with a bus tour around the city (around 90 minutes). If you prefer to walk, a bonus in Helsinki is that most of the attractions are within easy walking distance of the city center. From the Senate Square used as a Russian backdrop in "Gorky Park" and "Reds" to a multitude of wide, open parks and a city center remarkably like a mini St Petersburg, Helsinki has the variety to make any weekend city breaks a hit!

Helsinki flights arrive at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport where a bus service leaves every 20 mins to Helsinki city center (journey time approx 40 mins).

Door to door private transfers to your Helsinki hotels can be booked in advance.
