Full description
Private tour of Helsinki with a Spanish-speaking guide and transportation, to discover Senate Square, its cathedrals, the Sibelius Monument and Market Square.
This private tour covers the main sights of Helsinki, the capital and largest city of Finland, with a Spanish-speaking guide. Founded in 1550 by King Gustav I of Sweden as a rival to the Hanseatic city of Reval, today's Tallinn, Helsinki preserves many neoclassical buildings from the early 19th century, a legacy of Tsar Alexander I, who wanted to give the city an air similar to that of Saint Petersburg.
The route is centered on Senate Square, home to the neoclassical Lutheran Cathedral of Helsinki and the nearby Orthodox Uspenski Cathedral, considered one of the largest in Western Europe, which is visited from the outside. The square is also home to the Council of State building, which gave the square its name as the seat of Finland's senate until 1907, and the University of Helsinki building. The visit continues with the Sibelius Monument, the work of sculptor Eila Hiltunen, made up of hundreds of steel pipes, and with the Rock Church (Temppeliaukio), a large Lutheran church carved out of the rock, which is also visited from the outside. It is completed with Market Square, by the sea, a popular spot to try salmon, reindeer meat and traditional dishes, or to buy typical products.
The service includes a Spanish-speaking guide and transportation throughout the tour, with pickup and return to the port or the hotel. The vehicle is adapted to the number of passengers. Entrance to the interior of the Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral and the Rock Church is not included: when you confirm the booking, it can be added as an optional supplement, as can lunch at a downtown restaurant. As it is a private tour, the experience is carried out exclusively for your group, an ideal option for cruise passengers, families or groups who want to see Helsinki comfortably.
