Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- LolaGo1Washington DC, DC6,056 contributionsThough it cold and windy, I decided to take the ferry from the Market Square to this Fortress. The ride was short, about 15 minutes.
There were lots of school children on a field trip here.I let them ahead of me, took my time to explore the Island. What were most memorable for me: Church ( not opened during my visit), Viking-like monument of a military person, canons, and wall fortifications.
Construction works are going at various locations here. Workers are helpful when asked for directions. Highly recommended to visit this attraction. Ferry fares are FREE if you have an HSL Travel Card.Written 17 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The decorations are sparse and minimalist. What attracted me most is their beautiful and colorful organ located near the ceiling area.
Entrance here is FREE, but donations are welcome. I bid goodbye to the staff who explained that the Cathedral is Lutheran, not Russian Orthodox. They have scheduled services through out the weekWritten 16 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We did not go in however thoroughly enjoyed a good look around.
Beautiful and well worth a look if you visit this stunning little city.

This was the very first attraction I saw, a beautiful park with flowering plants, several statues, benches to sit down, etc.
Note that there are also restaurants and shops along its sides. This park leads to the Market Square where there are more attractions to see and visit.Written 15 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Its worth some of your time to explore, along with what looks like a bit of an afterthought bust of Sibelius stuck to the side of the sculpture.
Dont forget to stop for coffee & cinnamon buns at the Regatta cafe a stones throw away.Written 16 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The intention of the sculpture was to symbolise the rebirth of Helsinki. Its iconic to Helsinki.Written 23 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LolaGo1Washington DC, DC6,056 contributionsThere are several attractions near the Market Square. One of them is this attraction. As I got closer, I noticed it to be working, but I could not see any riders or people falling in line to take the rides.
This ride I can take, but not the roller coasters. I’ll definitely come back her to experience the ride before leaving Helsinki.Written 16 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The oldest plant is a camellia tree which is about 130 years old. There are nice sitting places and tables between plants. You can take a book with you and read here or you can take a laptop and work here. It was very relaxing to walk and sit here in October. However, during Christmas time the indoor botanical garden may be crowded. There isn't any admission fee to this botanical garden.Written 12 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Emmili VHelsinki, Finland3 contributionssauna here can be an amazing experience especially for a foreigner .Kaurila is surly as traditional as a wood-stove sauna summer house could be. The dim candle-lit sauna gives a smooth moist heat, and change room is rustic , so if you are in Helsinki do not miss it .Written 4 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marianne MarissaDelft, The Netherlands113 contributionsBeautiful view but expensive.

- SilviaMSydney, Australia1 contributionJust completed the 2 hour free walking tour with Alvaro, and I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to Helsinki. Great overview covering history, architecture, politics and culture which makes me want to know much more about the Finns and Finland.
