Unleash the adventurer within, with an all-access pass to the bewitching Vallisaari island, nestled next to the venerable Suomenlinna fortress and its charming neighbor, Kuninkaansaari. Just a breezy 20-minute boat sail from Helsinki's bustling Market Square, the islands await eager explorers.

Their rich history whispers tales of hardy inhabitants, brave soldiers, and resilient nature, while remnants of ancient fortifications stand as silent, stoic storytellers. The islands harmoniously blend the wild beauty of diverse species with the echoes of human endeavor, making each visit a thrilling journey back in time.

This experience is an absolute delight for families, though a word to the wise, some paths might pose a challenge for strollers, courtesy of the islands' naturally rugged terrain and charmingly steep inclines.

While on Vallisaari, enjoy a plethora of amenities: quench your thirst at water points, freshen up in restrooms, take a breather at the excursion harbor, indulge in a quick bite at the café, or engage in riveting guided tours during the summer season.

But remember, with great adventure comes great responsibility. Given the fragile beauty of Vallisaari's natural environment, it's crucial to respect the island's rules and stick to designated trails. Embark on this enchanting island getaway today!

Access Vallisaari island and Kuninkaansaari with this ticket. Both islands are located near the Suomenlinna fortress and a boat ride away from Helsinki's Market Square. The islands have been homes and workplaces for many, and have seen the military service of thousands of soldiers. The fortifications, structures, and various species tell the story of people living with nature.

Families can visit, but be aware that trails are uneven and have steep inclines. Amenities include water points, restrooms, a harbor, a café, and guided tours in summer. Follow the designated trails to protect the fragile environment.
