Tours and excursions
When the meeting is over or before it has even started, delegates may enjoy the numerous supplementary programmes and outings Helsinki and its outlying areas have in store. There are, of course, guided tours by bus, tram, boat or even by foot. Unguided, you may plunge into Helsinki’s active cultural life – exhibitions, museums, concerts, theatre or clubbing – whatever is the name of the game.
If there’s more time to spare, Lapland and other areas of interest in Finland are easily reached by train or plane. Just as easy it is to have a taste of Russia... Or to make a day trip to Tallinn with 35-40 daily crossings to choose from. On top of that, excellent air and sea connections to Stockholm make the capital of Sweden an attractive choice, too.

Private events
Sailing ships
Traditional wooden sailing ships offer a unique way of seeing Helsinki’s splendid archipelago while experiencing the excitement and fun of sailing. Companies, organisations and groups can organise various types of sailing events or simply enjoy relaxing lunch or dinner cruises. Sailing aboard traditional wooden ships is an unforgettable experience that lets you discover the beauty of Helsinki and the diversity of the surrounding islands.
Trams
For private events groups can reserve their very own tram by which they can enjoy a unique sightseeing tour of Helsinki while sipping champagne. For example SpåraKOFF is a unique pub tram that travels past all the main sights in the city centre. Tram tours can also be tailored according to a special theme.
Stadin Ratikat Oy, offers two historic trams for rent: the 64-seat Ludde from the 1960s and the 29-seat Number 339 from the 1950s. Both trams have splendid interiors and are fitted with audio systems for use by guides or for speeches.
