⛴️ Ferries and archipelagos, from Helsinki–Tallinn to the ‘yellow’ crossings

Sea routes are part of the country's road network, so you can travel by car from overnight 'cruises with continuation' to short yellow crossings woven directly into the roads. If you're someone who just can't get enough of those breathtaking views, then this is definitely the place for you.

⛴️ How do domestic and international ferries work?

We've made it super easy for you by having different lanes for those of you who are boarding with or without a car. And whether you're planning a longer stay or just a quick visit, we've got you covered. When it's high season, it's always a good idea to book in advance and keep an eye on storm reports.

🌟Helsinki–Tallinn: what is important to know?

There are lots of flights to choose from, so arrive early for check-in with your car and keep your luggage straps handy. You might also want to expect schedule adjustments in case of storms.

🌃What are the perks of taking a night-time trip from Turku to Stockholm?

You can catch some z's during the crossing and then continue your journey in the morning. It's also a good idea to have dinner before boarding, and there are activity areas on board for children.

🌟 What do you know about the 'yellow' ferries?

These are free crossings in the archipelago, part of the road network, and we know how much they are appreciated. Queues form at the approach, with peak traffic in summer and weather windows in winter.

🚗The Turku archipelago by car and bicycle: how to plan?

The bridges and ferries form a lovely loop, so it's a great idea to book your accommodation and ferries in advance. If the weather isn't great, you can always take a shorter route.

🌍 Aland Islands: do you know of any special features?

There are a few little details to think about, like parking, booking crossings and combining islands, but don't worry, you'll have plenty of time.

🤔 Sea trams and summer lines?

Oh, you absolutely have to try this amazing summer activity in the city! You can get your hands on tickets through super handy apps or at the ticket offices at the piers.

🚴Can I take my bike on ferries and trains?

Trains can get pretty busy, so it's best to book in advance to make sure you get a space. And on the ferry, there's a limit on the number of bikes you can bring, so it's worth checking that in advance too.

Ferries add a lovely sense of 'sea pause' to the journey: coffee on deck, new islands to explore and the feeling that the road has become much wider. It's always a good idea to have a Plan A and B in place for those unexpected stormy weather situations. And if you book early, you can relax knowing that everything will fall into place when you arrive. Plus, if you're travelling by sea, the logistics will be taken care of like clockwork.
