Tallinn - Helsinki over Easter

Hi,

I%26#39;ll be in Tallinn from 10th April to 13th April (over the easter weekend) and would like to visit Helsinki for a day trip. I%26#39;m wondering which is a better day for the Helsinki Trip. Saturday or Sunday? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. :)

Thx!

More places will be open on Saturday. Fri and Sun are public holidays.

Hi there,

I will also be in Tallinn and Helsinki over Easter. Our current plans are to catch the ferry to Tallinn on Easter Saturday in the afternoon, stay overnight, do some sightseeing on the Easter Sunday and then head back to Helsinki on Sunday afternoon. Will anything at all be open on Easter Sunday or are we advised to change our plans?

Thanks!!

At Easter Sunday almost everything will be closed. Take a look at Helsinki Travel office web page if you%26#39;d found anything interesting.

Hi

I would stay in Tallinn a couple of nights at least, there is far more to see when you are wandering about than in Helsinki.

In Tallinn it doesn´t really matter if museums etc are closed because the city is a living museum.

There%26#39;s always the fortress islands of Suomelinna in Helsinki. They%26#39;re certainly worth a stroll around.

|||

Probably Saturday, as in Estonia Easter Sunday is business as usual.

Take plenty of money to Helsinki. It is very very expensive. We paid £8 GBP for 1 bowl of soup!!!!!!!!

I would imagine that was from somewhere very touristy, and an exception to the rule. I always find Helsinki pretty good value - in fact in some cases cheaper than Tallinn!

Being clueless is expensive everywhere. There%26#39;s no reason a day in Helsinki should cost an arm and a leg.

Thx for all the suggestions! I%26#39;ve bought tickets to Helsinki using the linda line on saturday. will be going over to Suomenlinna on the same day too. Hope the timing is not too tight!
