Thank you for your question and many thanks to all our visitors for sharing their experience on the topic! It is possible to commute from the airport to Helsinki central railway station very smoothly by train. From the central railway station, it's not a long walk (about 1 km) to Kauppatori Market Square where you can take a ferry to Suomenlinna. The ferry takes only about 15 minutes and runs frequently all year round. We recommend using our online guide on our website for checking the schedules and planning your visit in Suomenlinna. Welcome to Suomenlinna!

Yes, I think so. But keep some extra time on hand if you want to explore Suomenlinna. There's a lot of new construction coming up, both big and small sized, redefining the coastline and I would keep a whole day for that finishing it with the spectacular sunset. Enjoy Suomenlinna!!
