With this ticket you can visit Vallisaari island. Vallisaari and Kuninkaansaari are enchanting destinations for outings, next to the Suomenlinna fortress, just 20 minutes by boat from the Market Square in Helsinki. These two islands have served as the home and workplace of hundreds of people and as the place of military service for thousands of soldiers. Fortifications, buildings, and a record-breaking range of species tell a tale of coexistence between humans and wild nature. Just take a trip to these mysterious islands on which time seems to stand still. Suitable for the entire family. While the islands are accessible for prams, the trails are not unobstructed, as the terrain is uneven and the uphill sections are steep. Tourists at Vallisaari can use the islands' water points, toilets, the excursion harbour, café, and tour guide services during summer season. The natural environment of Vallisaari is highly sensitive. Please stay on the marked trails. Vessels leave from Helsinki Market Square Keisariluodonlaituri-pier next to the Korkeasaari zoo ferry. Watch out for our Frs Finland-signs. Many flexible departures per day and snacks and drinks available for purchase onboard. Enjoy a cup of coffee or cold beer on our sun deck and let yourself be pampered by our friendly staff. Duration of trip is around 15 minutes and the frequency is 60 minutes.
