Can you take a bike to Suomenlinna?
Taking a bicycle on the ferry to the fortress island.
Short answer
Yes. HSL allows bikes on the Suomenlinna ferry, but a fee is charged for the bike. On the metro and commuter trains bikes travel free when there is room. Suomenlinna is small, with narrow paths and many walkers, so many visitors simply walk.
Why
- HSL lists a fee for bicycles on the Suomenlinna ferry.
- Bikes travel free on the metro and commuter trains, according to HSL.
- The ferry is part of HSL, so HSL's on-board rules apply.
Details
Space for bikes on the ferry is limited on summer weekends. Staff may refuse bikes when the ferry is full.
Tip
Leave the bike in a rack at Market Square if you only want to walk around the island.
What may differ
The bike fee is listed in HSL's price list and can change.
Common misconception
Bikes are banned on the Suomenlinna ferry.
What actually happens
Bikes are allowed for a fee.
