I will be visiting Helsinki, Finland next month and although I have found a lot of info. for things to do in Helsinki I was wondering about 1 or 2 day trips to see some other places. So far I've found some places suggested: Porvoo, Turku, Rauma, Rovaniemi and going to Tallinn in Estonia. But are there any other places in Finland that I should visit? Also, I wanted to take organised tours, but the only 2 companies I have found are called helsinki expert and rudolf city. The rudolf guys seem like fun as I found this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZkaUa3BMqU). Has anyone tried these companies? Are there any others?
Thanks!
Alisia

Look at the Finland Tourist Board website. There should be some info there.
We went on a day trip to Tallin and really liked visiting the old town.
We took the train to Turku and visited the National Cathedral of Finland.
Maybe visit a glass works.

We also took a train tour to St Petersburg Russia for 4 days with the Finland Tourist Board. We booked it at www.nordicsaga.com which is a travel company in the USA. You might email the Finland Tourist Board if this is something you are interested in doing.
Hi Alisia!
I think you'll need car in Rovaniemi/lapland.
