Seurasaari Open-Air Museum

"A wonderful outdoor museum which gives you a taste of the different types of buildings Finns have lived in thought the ages and is a great way to spend Midsummer on 23rd of June. Located on the island of Seurasaari (take bus 24 or 25 from Kamppi shopping mall), it has some lovely views of the sea and also overlooks the President's and the Prime Minister's residences. It is free to walk around the island as it is public property, but there are entrance fees to enter each building or you can buy a ticket to enter them all. The outdoor museum is only open in the summer from 15th of May to 15th of September. Tickets (as of 2023) €10 Adults €8 (pensioners, students, groups of over 10 people) €0 Under 18 year olds (under 7 year olds must be accompanied by an adult) €4 for each individual building (if you don't buy the full ticket) "

"The next spot worth stopping by when in Helsinki is the Seurasaari island. After crossing the white wooden bridge which leads to the island, you run into adorable little squirrels which occupies the area. This island is mostly known as the location of the Seurasaari Open-Air Museum, which consists of old, mainly wooden buildings relocated from all around Finland and placed in the forest landscape of the island to protect its heritage. "

"The Open-Air Museum in Helsinki is like a real-life history book on Seurasaari Island. Picture old Finnish houses and farms – it's like a time travel thing. You get to stroll through these cool places and soak up the vibes of how things used to be. If you're into history or just want a unique walk, this spot's a gem. 🏡🌲"
