Helsinki trams are iconic! One of the oldest tram systems in the world that dates back to 1891. In the city centre areas, trams are the first choice of the locals when it comes to public transportation. This is also the city where things simply work, and public transportation is no exception. It works flawlessly and ranks among the best, not just in Europe but in the world.
In this tour, we will visit various parts of this beautiful city that would not have tourist crowds and enjoy it like a local by using the famous tram system. We will explore Helsinki with local transport to get an easy-going authentic experience. We will discover hidden locations that you may not find in standard tour itineraries; amazing secret parks, beaches, beautiful cafes, flea markets, great views and needless to say impressive architecture. You will also keep your day ticket for public transportation which is valid for 24 hours.

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
Kaivopuisto
Kaivopuisto is Helsinki’s oldest and best known urban park. It is surrounded by old villas from 19th century and several embassies.
It is possible to have great views of the peninsula, nearby islands and sea from the small hill inside the park.
Katajanokka
Katajanokka is one of the distinguished neighbourhoods of Helsinki. It is famous for the great examples of Jugendstil architecture on its streets.
There are many more significant landmarks in the area such as the Uspenski Cathedral, an old prison redeveloped as a hotel, and Finnish icebreaker fleet.
Sibelius Park
The Sibelius Park was named after Finland’s greatest composer Jean Sibelius on his 80th birthday in 1945.
A favourite destination in the park is the Sibelius Monument designed by Eila Hiltunen which is a popular attraction in Helsinki.
