Boating in Helsinki

Helsinki sits at the heart of an archipelago of rocky islands, many of them just minutes from the city centre by boat. Summer days are spent hopping between fortress islands, beaches and island restaurants and saunas, with long light evenings on the water.

Where to go by boat

  • Suomenlinna

    UNESCO-listed sea fortress spread over several linked islands off the city.

  • Lonna

    Small island between the city harbour and Suomenlinna, open in summer.

  • Pihlajasaari

    Recreational island with sandy and rocky beaches, a restaurant and a sauna.

  • Vallisaari

    Island close to Suomenlinna, open to visitors in summer only.

Tip: Suomenlinna’s guest harbour is very popular and has limited berths, and several islands only open in summer, so check services before you set out.
