The FRS Finland waterbus brings you to the heart of the fortress island of Suomenlinna, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the number 1 must-see tourist attraction in Finland with its historical sea fortress and lovely museums and restaurants.

This ticket includes a guided walking tour by an authorised guide. The group tour in English takes you around the fortress islands, through the centuries, presenting the main sights and the key events in the history of the fortress, offering interesting perspectives on the Finnish history and history of Northern Europe. The duration of the ferry ride is about 20-25 minutes. The duration of the guided tour is about 1 hour. After the tour you can explore the island at your own pace, visit the Ehrensvärd Museum for free by presenting your ticket for the guided tour, or head back to the Market Square with the next ferry. Departure frequency of 30 minutes.

Vessels leave from Helsinki Market Square, “Keisarinluodon laituri”-pier (which is next to the Korkeasaari zoo pier). Look for red FRS Finland signs and flags. Enjoy a cup of coffee or a cold beer on our sun deck - our friendly staff is at your service.

The museum where the tour starts is right next to the arrival pier at Artillery Bay. You will meet the guide inside the museum. Only our vessels bring you right next to the museum without long walking distances.
