Helsinki about
Helsinki's boat tours and island ferries leave from the Kauppatori (Market Square) quay in the city centre. A public-transport ferry runs all year to the UNESCO-listed Suomenlinna sea fortress, a trip of about 15 minutes. In summer, seasonal water buses serve the islands of Lonna and Vallisaari; on Vallisaari visitors must keep to marked trails because of old ordnance remains. The classic archipelago cruise takes about an hour and a half and passes Suomenlinna, Kaivopuisto and Korkeasaari. In summer, boats also run along the coast east to the historic town of Porvoo.
