Easy to obtain and easy to use. We used it on a cruise shore excursion and may not have received full value, but it worked where needed and gave us ideas on places to visit.

Great way to see the city! Easy map to follow and the buses were very comfortable. Some of the ear bud stations did not work on the bus, but it was not a problem finding one that worked.

Very convenient, easy to pick up at the airport even with a mid-night arrival. My hotel was about a 15 bus ride out of city center so I used it twice a day on the busses, just show pass to driver, and could have used it for free travel on the mainline train. The trams are amazing and the card was great for jumping on any one that was convenient - just validate for each journey at machine in tram. I used it for trip on the Suomenlinna Ferry, the Hop-on/off Bus tour and a few museums. Even with 3 full days I couldn't fit in the Panoramic Tour but its route would be very similar to the Hop on/off and a good option for someone with less time. All in all, great decision for me to get the Helsinki Card to experience this fabulous city with ease. Can get discount on the Sibelius Experience with it, too!!

This card was very useful for our stay in Helsinki. We got it primarily for the bus access to many of the sites we wanted to see, but honestly, Helsinki isn't so big or complicated that you can't walk most of it. The HoHo bus was well done but the city history and narrative was less impressive than many other HoHo tours in other cities. We passed by many sites that looked interesting but were not described. Other than that, the card was well worth the price, especially if you only have a couple of days to visit Helsinki.

Fantastic value for money. Free travel in city including train ride from airport. Lots of free museums and hop on bus. Also free ferry and museums and tour on Island Fortress. Did not have to pay any extra for sightseeing, excellent!

The Helsinki Card worked well, certainly made things easy with regard to public transport. I don’t think we had enough time to take full advantage of it, but what I did use it for was good. Happily recommend it to people staying in Helsinki for a few days.

We found that the Helsinki card made it easier for us to move around Helsinki and see the sites that we wanted to without worrying about money. I highly recommend the Helsinki Card

ONE SHOULD ALWAYS TRAVEL SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRIES WITH CITY CARD
Review by: Norma F, June 2016
A bit confusing because of different tour companies available- similar names, similar appearing buses. In the end it was worthwhile
Review by: jenkinsbrucec, June 2016
kinda a pointless card and you must get it from the airport. the option in the city is no longer there

Very convenient to get around on the transport system. Good offers

The Helsinki card was very useful but it would have been better to have got it direct from the tourist office as I could not alter the days on arrival. However I was in fact able to use it on what became my third day anyway so all was well. The Hotel Arthur which we had booked independently as excellent, not full of large groups and well placed for local transport but quietly placed near the botanic gardens park. However theOmena hotel in Turku was most unsatisfactory in management and provision. It is designed by Aalto and furnished alright but is in fact a hostel. Although all food has to be brought in there were not even plastic plates and cutlery. Nor were any staff on duty so it was impossible to enter as the number given was only to the external door and not the room number, despite informing them that we were out of communication for a fortnight before arrival on a Baltic tour to seven places. The latter is of course not the fault of Viator but the misleading promotion of the Omena chain.

This is a remedy, especially you're visiting several museums and using public transportation system. It saved me lots of money!
Review by: psimkus, September 2015
This card is good if you have lots of time in the city. Not for the cruise passenger on a day excursion. I was able to recoup 75 of the price by taking the Panoramic bus tour, but that's all I had time for before returning to the ship. Easy to retrieve from the tourist office, and the people there are great. Hit city hall first thing for free toilets.

Again, the pass card is an exceptional savings tool and provides access to many museums and public transportation. We utilized the card for a boat tour which was outstanding. That tour was the best tool to capture the history and essence of how the water is such a key aspect of everyday life in Finland. Locating the Information center where we could obtain the actual card was time consuming.
Review by: stumpft, September 2015
If you are in Helsinki for more than 5-6 hours, then this is worth it. However, coming from a cruise ship and trying to get to the location to get the card was costly and time consuming. Hop-onhop-off do it better and have stops at the cruise port terminals.
