DAY 1

Arrival in Helsinki with Silja Line. Silja Line
is the best alternative for a summer vacation
trip, whether you’re planning to drive
from European destinations along the King’s
Road or take a cruise on the Baltic. Silja Line
is the only shipping company that has three
different routes to Europe.

The tour on the King’s Road begins in Helsinki,
a city founded in 1550 by Gustavus
Wasa, king of Sweden. Suomenlinna Sea
Fortress is one of the Unesco’s world heritage
sites. You can get to know Helsinki e.g.
by going on one of the sightseeing tours
arranged by Helsinki Expert, or by taking
advantage of the many opportunities offered
by the Helsinki Card for visitors. “Royal”
sites in Helsinki include the Senate Square,
the Cathedral, the University, the Council of
State, Uspensky Cathedral and the Art Deco
buildings in Katajanokka and Eira.

Accommodation in downtown Helsinki at
hotel Arthur.
