Christmastime in the Fortress of Suomenlinna

Christmastime in the fortress offers a great opportunity to get to know Suomenlinna at the most atmospheric time of the year! The wintry sea fortress is a very special experience.

During the Christmas season, the fortress is decorated with Christmas trees and lights. In restaurants, cafes and in the local bar you can feast on the flavours of the season. The museums have special program and longer opening hours, and the church of Suomenlinna has many Christmas events. You can also occasionally peek into the craftsmen's workshops and do local Christmas shopping. The Lighthouse Keeper's Route leads children and those who like adventures on self-guided tour. By the way, did you know that you can also stay overnight in Suomenlinna in winter?

Welcome to enjoy the darkest and most atmospheric part of Helsinki even during Christmas! The winter ferry ride from Kauppatori to Suomenlinna is an experience in itself and takes only 15 minutes.
