Discover Suomenlinna, one of the largest Nordic forts in the region, on a fascinating guided tour.

• Take an hour-long guided tour of Suomenlinna Sea Fortress

• The tour starts from the Suomenlinna Museum

Spread across six linked islands in a stunning Helsinki archipelago, Suomenlinna is one of the country's most important historical sites.
Dating back to 1748, this impressive UNESCO World Heritage Site was originally built to defend the Kingdom of Sweden against the Russian Empire.

On this guided tour, your knowledgeable guide will recount its eventful history, from its Swedish origins to Finnish independence in 1917, as well as its role today as a home for several private, public, and cultural institutions. Despite now being a residential area, traditional construction methods are still used to preserve the fortress, ensuring it remains of great historical significance.
Enjoy views of the islands as you stroll through the most important areas of the fortress, such as the Great Courtyard and the Dry Dock, which in its heyday was among the largest in the world.
