- Want to know what to do in Helsinki, Finland on your trip to Scandinavia and only have limited time? Let's say you only have 3 days or 72 hours, what's the best way to see the top sights in the city? That's where the Helsinki Card comes into play. My goal was to see everything I wanted to in the capital and do it all with the city pass. I show you why the card is such a good deal, how easy it is to use, and a must-have if you're planning a trip to Helsinki.
❇️ GET THE CARD
As a heads up, the Helsinki Card is now branded as Helsinki Card - they're the same product!

How much is that pass? I’ll be in Finland 🇫🇮 next month
Istanbul card
Yes, looks like you definitely used your time wisely. Will be getting a Helsinki card for sure for my trip. Great Video ! Thank you !
You're welcome! The card was super handy and I got to see a ton as a result. I hope you have an awesome trip to Helsinki!
Nice video. Very well done. I am visiting Helsinki this September, couldn't decide if I should buy a Helsinki card, your video was very helpful
Helsinki looks a fascinating place to visit - well done.
Thank you!
Maybe Watching 3 Others Too❤
Awesome video, was really nice to see Helsinki !
Aww thanks!!
I'd like to correct you on a small detail: the price for a single adult ticket from the airport to the centrum actually costs ~5€. I think you must've bought the ticket that covers the far ourtskirts of the fare zone. But nice video overall :)
Thanks for the correction. That must be what I was looking at when I pulled the number - my numbers are off by a bit then!
@@GoingAwesomePlaces Also the tickets are valid for 80 minutes or so, so some of the tickets "bought" would've been redundant and the total cost smaller than you showed.
4,10 euros
Please say more about how did you get the voucher for the Helsinki card? Did you get online and prepaid it? Then print the voucher to get the card. Tell us more about how it's done. Thanks
eddie chan hey Eddie, I purchased it all online beforehand and had a printout ready. When I landed in Helsinki you saw in the video going down to the basement level where you can redeem it for the card. Make sure to use the link I have in the description!
3:00 Suomenlinna* But nice video m8!
Thanks for watching!! I know I know, I have the disclaimer in the description below about the spelling. Ooooops!
So beautiful!
Thanks bud :)
Great video.
Nice video! Excited to visit Finland in a few days, this is informative!
Thanks!! Have a great time in Finland :)
Awesome Video. Thanks from Bangalore, India
I’m glad you enjoyed it!!
Ok coverged, liked this as a helsinkian.
This was great!!
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Have you been or thinking about going to Helsinki?
thanks. I'll buy one. Two to be exactly :)
I decided not to do the City card as I was there for 24 hours but maybe if I stayed longer
Never enough time right?? It was a crazy 24 hours I did but it gave mine a glimpse of the best of the city and loved every moment of it!
You didn’t go to the CV-707 Vesikko in Suomenlinna..
Ah I know! I wanted to but it wasn't open because it wasn't quite summer yet! I was off by a day or two.
How can i buy the tourist card in Ghana west Africa to Finland ?
You can purchase the card online and when you arrive in Finland, you pick it up at the airport similar to how I did it.
@@GoingAwesomePlaces thanks very much...
But please can i use the card without visa to enter Finland 73hours for tour
@@nahimzoro8261 You can't enter Finland without a valid visa
ok first, where did you get the voucher to redeem at the counter?
Hey! I'm not sure if you saw in the video but you'll see that from the arrivals section of the airport, I took an escalator downstairs one level and it's at a desk named "Airpro Travel Service" at 0:25. Once you head down there, it's pretty easy to spot!
u didnt go to ''kontula'' aka ghetto of helsinki
Omg. You haven't seen real ghettos at all.
It's too cold in Finland.
Summer time is awesome here!
sigh its suomenlinna, not soumenlinna or soulmelinna :(
I got it right in my description but yes I spelled it wrong in the video. Thanks for watching though and good eye!
@@GoingAwesomePlaces Just a guy from Helsinki whimpering here :D It was typed wrong twice but nice video though. I watched the video because usually when you live in a certain city you don't explore it as much as tourists do because you kinda think everything is right there all the time. So I had to watch it in order to get some inspiration to explore on the weekend.
@@Shnigi Haha yeah in the video I probably did. Cool! I'm the say way with my home city of Toronto. It was a whirlwind trip I did to Helsinki but loved the vibe and the diversity of things you can do there. Hopefully it gave you a few ideas!
Huvilakatu is not Eira but Ullanlinna.
Ah I didn't know! They described the area as Eira so that is my mistake!
Eira is right next to it to the west!
Moi
👋
You wrote rong suomenlinna
Thank you!! Just fixed it in the description although won't be able to do it in the video unfortunately! Thanks for watching :)
You wrote wrong rong
Finland ❌❌❌
Not a fan? Or did I miss something in the world news?
@@GoingAwesomePlaces XXX Means kiss, kiss, kiss in writing. Some people write it as XOXOXO, others just as XXX.
Haha thanks for clarifying :). Finland is pretty awesome right?
It looks like a TV show, excellent editing.
Thanks!! I'm glad you enjoyed this one :)
Ditto! Brilliant shots x
Dear other travel vbloggers! If you plan to make video about Helsinki, this guy explains Helsinki card valid enough. Rest of the vloggers can skip that part! I beg you! Just cite this guy!
Haha love it. Thanks for the 👍
This was exactly the video I needed to plan my trip! Thank you for the tour and info!
You’re very welcome! When are you thinking about going to Helsinki?
@@GoingAwesomePlaces we don’t know yet. It will be a business trip for my husband, so it will depend lots of factors. We think this fall.
Nice! You covered all my favourite places in Helsinki apart from a couple of secret spots I can show you if you return. We will go for coffee. Great video, nice work.
Thanks Brett! Would love to see Helsinki as a local next time. I’ll hit you up 😀
Excellent video ! Very informative and I have this book marked to revert back to for an upcoming trip. Thank you !
You’re welcome! Have a great trip when you go!!
Looks like you had a great time! We were there a few years ago.
An awesome city that was really great to travel through especially solo. Loved how the Helsinki Card made it so easy. Where was your favourite spot in the city?
Great video, dude!! It’s so informative and well done. Going to Helsinki in July. Keep it up!
Appreciate the ❤️! Helsinki is a great city - you’re going to love it!
I'm glad you enjoyed Helsinki as much as I did, but I wonder how many ways you can misspell SUOMENLINNA in one video? LOL I can understand mis-pronuncitation, as Finnish can be difficult, but a little more attention to detail when editing and producing videos can make them even better.
For sure! Caught that a little bit too late before hitting publish and many others have mentioned it. I mentioned it in the description down below but definitely a lesson learned from 6 years ago!
Hi guy, how much does d card cost. The Helsinki card i mean
For 24 hours, it’s 46 EUR, 48 hours 56 EUR, and 72 hours is 66 EUR right now.
Nice video. Enjoyable to watch even for someone born here, thank you.
Hello, i am from Brazil and I have seeing your videos. Very amazing. I will go to Helsinki in this year . Thanks e Sucess to your channel.
Very good, helpful and informative video.
Simple yet sophisticated!
What a wonderful video on Helsinki, visiting next year Autumn. Very helpful information. Regards from Canada
Thank you! I'm from Canada too :) Hope you get to go soon!
@@GoingAwesomePlaces Im from Helsinki and i spend 9 wekks i Toronto.. I lov Canada and i dont like Finland :D
@@ariruishalme4403 Glad you've been enjoying Canada! I quite enjoyed Helsinki and could definitely draw a lot of parallels with Canadian lifestyle. I think from travelling, you definitely take your home for granted in a lot of ways and growing up in a specific place it's not as exciting as going somewhere else.
Love the breakdown with the tourist card. Thank you!
Great review--love your energy. You're a total babe too--lucky wife!
hello I have a question!
I am visiting Helsinki in 3 days,is it possible to purchase the ticket as I arrive there or do I must pre-purchase?
Hi Polina! If you’re talking about the Helsinki Card yes you can buy it at the collection point which you saw from my video and other sales points they have. They also have a downloadable Helsinki mobile card now as well.
@@GoingAwesomePlaces thanks for the fast reply!
See The Prices for just Helsinki Card - Not The Whole Metropolitan Card ! Airport is at Zone Metropol - but All The Other Sights at Helsinki ! I am NOT SURE - IF THERE IS A DIFFERENCE - with 24 / 48 / 72 Cards !
thank you for your informative video! I really enjoy it :)
You’re welcome! When are you headed to Helsinki?
@@GoingAwesomePlaces I'm planning to visit Finland in mid-June. In the process to apply for a visa. Wish me luck :)
Kieu Truong good luck!!
Even don't allow da Asians particularly Indians by da Lazy people in own country people call da such a people making worst da Europe's name 👎
I'm going awesome places, too!
Duality Firm yasssssss!!
Go corona go
I know, can’t wait to be able to travel again!
Excellent video ! And yes, you certainly got your money's worth, great job.
Thanks for watching! Loved Helsinki and hope to be back in Finland soon :). Have you been?
@@GoingAwesomePlaces Great ! Although I am a bit timid (because of the weather) but I am going and the end of March. Looking forward to it !
@@Bitsonpieces79 You'll have fun for sure! Just make sure you bring all your warm layers and take advantage with the available daylight!
Where all can you get Helsinki cards? Can you get one for unlimited use for a 7 day period (region)?
Hey sorry for the late reply! The max # of days for this pass is a 3 day actually. I'm surprised they don't have a 7 day so that's a good point...
72 hours is not enough, my 4 week Helsinki loma starts in 12 days.
Tuula westra I totally agree. You’ll see that it was pretty rushed but I’m impressed with how much I was able to pack in!
totally not annoying how you promote that card every 2 seconds :)
Haha 😂
🇵🇱
Thanks for watching!
@@GoingAwesomePlaces I love this country ♥️
Great video like a lot :)
Aww thanks so much!
KALLIO means ROCK ! So The Church at Kallio - is Not The Rock Church ! KALLIO is a Part of Helsinki !
Very well done
Thank you for watching!
Please how to become a resident of Helsinki ,becoz I love this city.
But good i am from finland
Finland is not in Scandinavia
Touché! I just checked and you're right! For some reason I had always assumed that Finland was part of Scandinavia.
Outside the Nordic Europe, Scandinavia is often used as a synonym for all the Nordic countries - But yes, Finland and Iceland aren't Scandinavian countries officially.
@@mikrokupu I've been mis-using it this whole time. Definitely one of those things you just assume but totally got that wrong there!
@@GoingAwesomePlaces Not that big deal I think, all these countries have a lot in common anyway, living the so called Nordic model.
Actually Northwest Finland is part of Scandinavia. But yeah, only Norway and Sweden are really Scandinavia. Icelanders, Danish, Swedish and Norwegians are still Scandinavians even though Iceland and Denmark all not part of Scandinavia. Finland is only part of Scandinavia by the northwest area, but Finns do have pretty Scandinavian culture. All together they're Nordic people.
2:53 "Soumenlinna, Soulmelinna", WTF happened there?
Spelling mistake is what happened
You deserve more subs
Thanks for the vote of confidence!
Good work mate. Im going there soon and this is helpful
Have a wicked trip!! What time of the year will you be there?
@@GoingAwesomePlaces Thanks! Late May, so hopefully weather is nice! - I'll try the boat trip from your vid.
@@Car_toz The weather should be amazing by then!
I'm from Helsinki;Finland. I've aleady visited these place 😀
Hello! I miss Finland :) I'm glad you've been able to go to all these spots - lots more to see though right?
@@GoingAwesomePlaces yeah. Now here is winter. Different beautiful view than summer !😍 there is also some other museum & winter indoor green garden. Also some indoor zoo .😊
@@mehreemahossain7860 I believe it! I know there isn't as much daylight but I can see there being a ton to do. Hope to be back soon :)
@@GoingAwesomePlaces 😊😊
@@mehreemahossain7860can I please talk with you..,.I'm coming to Finland in few weeks ❤
