Helsinki Unlocked: Explore & Save with Your Ultimate City Pass

The difference between the Helsinki card & the Copenhagen card is night & day. It’s very annoying that there is no app for the Helsinki card so you can literally see where attractions are located, along with the hours, etc. Also very annoying that after buying the card online, when picking up at airport location, there was a sign with prices and the card was €81, which is more expensive than what I paid Viator for my 48 hour Region card.

Great budget option for visiting Helsinki! But you have to be active - We visited several museums, used Hop on-off bus, went to some boat axcursions and even got some discounts in a shop. Plus we used it for tram rides very often in three days.

At first glance it looks expensive but a few transport trips, hop on and off bus tour and a cruise around the bay and a day at Suomenlinna and the pass paid for itself. We simply showed it everywhere and everywhere recognised it for free or discounted entry. Be aware that there are two schemes Helsinki Pass and Helsinki Card - same principle and discounts just different buses and cruise boats - be wary of not getting the wrong ones! Great scheme.

The Helsinki card works well around town. Many attractions are spread out so make sure you have time to wait for busses. Also, to activate the the card we had to wait until Stockmann Department store opened, went to the 8th floor, and then went back out to catch thr Hop on Hop Off bus. This was a bit time consuming and not as easy to access as other city cards we have used.

This card seemed incredibly expensive for just three days - 84 euros. But after totaling up all the things I did - metro, buses, hop-on hop-off bus, boat trip, ferry, museums - it would have come to about 120 euros bought separately. So if you will be in Helsinki and wanting to see a number of things, this card really is worth it.

The Helsinki Card is definitely worth the cost. All travel from the airport and around the city was included as well as the ferry to Suomenlinna. All major attractions were included too so if you are spending a few days discovering the delights of the city, this is a very cost effective way to explore.

Helsinki Card City 48 hour card Purchased 48hour cards before arrival in Helsinki airport. The printed voucher is exchanged for the hard copy cards at the excess baggage / storage booth as you exit the arrivals Hall (not the baggage reclaim area). The booth is a few metres from the escalator to the train platforms. The cards cost €132 and we validated them next morning. If you use the hop on hop off bus and take a city cruise together with a visit to the 'Rock Church' and maybe a museum via tram / bus, you more than get the value of the cards in two days.

City cards are a mixed bag, but we really used the Helsinki card. The city's trams and buses are free with the card, and we found the system easy to use. The only hard part was finding the tram stops, but the people in Helsinki are fantastic. Two ladies at two separate times actually walked us to the stop!

Got the cards at the airport and saved us lots of money with the trains transport.. i even used it on the hop on hop off

The Helsinki Card is great in premise. We were denied entry to the panorama bus. Apparently there is a cap on the number that can enter the bus with a Helsinki Card. Paying customers were allowed on. Making money perhaps? Friday’s afternoon all museums are free. We did use the card for things we did not want to see. I can’t recommend this card if it is not honored.
