    How do you get to Suomenlinna?

    The ferry to the sea fortress and the tickets you need.

    Answered at: Checked at:

    Short answer

    By the HSL ferry from Market Square. HSL says the trip takes about 15 minutes and that Suomenlinna is in fare zone A, so any HSL ticket valid in zone A is accepted. In the HSL journey planner the ferry is shown as route 19. The ferry runs all year round.

    Why

    1. HSL gives about 15 minutes for the ferry crossing.
    2. HSL says Suomenlinna is in zone A.
    3. The Suomenlinna website confirms that HSL tickets are valid on the ferry.

    Details

    Suomenlinna is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a district of Helsinki where people live all year.

    Tip

    Buy a return trip by choosing a ticket that is still valid when you come back, or buy a new one on the island.

    What may differ

    Departures are less frequent in winter. Check the timetable before you go.

    Common misconception

    You need a special museum ticket to ride the Suomenlinna ferry.

    What actually happens

    It is part of HSL, so a normal HSL ticket for zone A is valid.
