Escape the city on this relaxing day trip from Helsinki and explore some of Finland’s hidden gems.
This tour is perfect if you want to discover authentic Finnish culture, coastal charm, and historic landmarks – all within a comfortable day trip from Helsinki. Meet your guide in downtown Helsinki and begin your journey to Raasepori and Ekenäs (Tammisaari).
Higlights:
– Explore medieval castle ruins
– Wander through picture-perfect Ekenäs Old Town
– Taste the best pizza in Southern Finland
– Roundtrip transportation from Helsinki
Meet your guide at the designated meeting point in downtown Helsinki before heading out on an one hour drive to Raasepori. Then visit the ruins of a 700-year-old medieval castle and experience an important part of Finnish history. The Raasepori Castle sits atop a giant rock that’s still slowly rising from the earth today.
Next, continue to the idyllic seaside Old Town of Ekenäs (Tammisaari in Finnish), dating back to the 16th century. Stroll the colorful cobblestone streets and soak in the peaceful atmosphere before ending your day with something truly delicious (= pizza).
YLP! is not your typical pepperoni pizza place. They are known for their unique flavor combinations that pair perfectly. The favorite pizzas have been selected from the menu to share, so instead of one pizza, you’ll get to try several different varieties.
What a day! After the adventure, you’ll be brought back to Helsinki in the evening.
As a Sustainable Travel Finland certified operator, the groups are kept small and experiences local and responsible. Whether it’s your first time in Finland, or have visited here multiple times, this afternoon escape is a special way to connect with hidden gems.
Note: this tour is guided in English.
