A sprawling fortress-village spread over multiple islands, with cafes, restaurants, breweries etc. Popular with visitors but I found it to be underwhelming. Not much to actually see.Full review by Kai C

Interesting but nothing special. Submarine is interesting but the military museum is disappointing. Generally underwhelming.Full review by Mark H

Dear friend,we were there when the weather wasn't really the finest,windy and rainy and cold. But that did not stop us from seeing this beauty. It might be enough if the weather is fine .Lots to walk and see. depends on how deeply you are going to be interested in the history. May skipp some parts but as long as you follow the directions you'll definetly have a great time . Beautiful things to discover. Need tobe cautios for the inhabitars there for respect.Enjoy your visit
How much is the Helsinki card? Do children under 2 year old need a ticket?
A:
The Helsinki card is 42 Euros per day per adult without transport, 49 Euros with transport, and 54 Euros with transport to/from the airport. Children under 7 go free.

Hi, I think that you should be able to see some attractions and enjoy the sunset too. The Ferry is running and there are food places and Market open too on the Island. Enjoy it :) its worth to take the ferry and see the city from this angle. Post some photos.
