Helsinki: Panorama Sightseeing Tour

Additional Information & Description

Helsinki’s Panorama Sightseeing Tour brings the city’s main landmarks and several distinctive districts into one 1-hour-45-minute journey. Travel by double-decker bus for a comfortable introduction to the Finnish capital, taking in its streets, public buildings and parkland along the route.

A route through central Helsinki

The tour takes in Senate Square, Helsinki Cathedral and Kaivopuisto Park, as well as the districts of Eira, Punavuori and Töölö. Along Mannerheimintie Street, look out for the Finnish National Opera, Finlandia Hall, the National Museum and Parliament House. The Music Centre and Central Library Oodi also feature on the route, bringing cultural venues and civic landmarks into the same sightseeing journey. Entry to attractions along the way is not included; the focus is on seeing Helsinki from the bus rather than visiting the interiors of these buildings.

On board the double-decker

Your ticket includes the sightseeing bus journey, access to the onboard WiFi network and a live route map. Use the map to follow the route as you travel through the city. Luggage space is also available on board, a practical detail if you are carrying bags during your visit.

Commentary in 11 languages

An audio guide accompanies the tour through single-use earphones, with commentary available in Chinese, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish and Swedish. This gives you spoken interpretation alongside the views, with a choice of language rather than a single commentary language for the whole bus.

Arrival and ticket access

The tour starts at Unioninkatu 34. Arrive 10 minutes before departure and allow 1 hour 45 minutes for the journey itself. Tickets are delivered instantly and can be presented on a smartphone. The tour is wheelchair accessible.
