Helsinki
Helsinki, Finland — what to do while your ship is in port.
Helsinki's Market Square (Kauppatori) right at the harbor is a good starting point for handicrafts and local food stalls. The striking white Helsinki Cathedral and the rock-carved Temppeliaukio Church are both close to the center, and the fortress island of Suomenlinna, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a short ferry ride from the market square.
