Ferieboliger i Helsinki

We will start the walk from Holiday Inn hotel, close to central station. During two hours, we will walk through the most majestic and off-the-beat scenic and photographic spots in Helsinki. We will also visit famous touristy spots, but with a twist as we will see and capture them from some unusual yet extremely photogenic angles. These are the spots that I have discovered through four years of extensively exploring Helsinki with my camera. Along the way I will share some interesting, fun and curious facts about Helsinki and its rich history and click some memorable portraits and photos at unforgettable locations, which I will send you after the tour. This walk and photo-shoot session is perfect for solo travellers, couples, friends and families (on request). There will be upto 4-5 amazing people, thus proving wonderful opportunity to interact, get to know other fellow travellers and share some fun times while also getting clicked. The walk and photo-shoot will ensure that MyHelsinki will become yours and be etched in your memory (and digitally) for a long time. For all the video lovers and vloggers, I have one go-pro which you can use to make videos and create memories during our epic walk. I can share all the footage after the tour! Let me know!

Forget those pre-scripted, crowded, boring touristy tours! In my walking tours, I use my creativity and knowledge to adjust the tour according to your interests and preferences, the group size and the weather conditions; so you will get the best of Helsinki. We will walk together in and around the city center, discovering Helsinki's secrets, learning its history, culture and traditions. Why do Helsinki people have picnic on top of graves? What was the meeting point of the bohemian people of 1880s in Helsinki? How did they build a church inside a giant granite rock? Where did Lenin hide when he was running away from the Tsarist Russia? Which statue is the one that seagulls hate the most? Where did they bury thousands of bodies during the plague? Why is the largest Orthodox cathedral located in a Lutheran country? Where can you eat the best salmon soup of your life? Why Finnish people still cheer for the opponents of the Swedish national football team? How did a Finnish architect influence generations of American architects and skyscraper designs? We will find answers to all of these questions and more, while visiting each of these important locations in Helsinki. Other things to note Be prepared to walk 6-7 km and come with comfortable walking shoes and extra layers for warmth. Please remember to check your messages on your Airbnb account or Airbnb mobile app as that is the main communication tool. You can check out my website for various tours www.atamantours.com
