Helsinki, Tallinn, Riga 10 day Itinerary help needed
Hi,
We are 6 adults who will be traveling to Helsinki, Tallinn, Riga for 10 days in mid August. Flying into Helsinki then ferry to Tallinn and then we will be driving to Riga. The dates and countries are set in stone. However, I would love your help on:
1. How many days (out of 10) we should spend in each area?
2. What other cities on the way should we visit?
We are all mobile. love everything. Food, culture, history, some museums, nature. Some of us are not huge hikers, but others would go on a nice trail. WE are flying into HEL and out of Riga. Also, we would defiantly love some off-beaten path gems.
Thank you
Michael

Of these three cities, I've only been to Helsinki. For my interests, I'd say 2 days (3 nights) is the bare minimum for that city, 3 days (4 nights) would be much better, though you would still need to be selective in your sightseeing with that time frame. YMMV.
Hope that helps!

10 days including arrival and departure days or ten full days plus an arrival and a departure day?
Check the one way cross border rental fees. You will need two cars. There is a Flixbus between Tallinn and Riga which is probably cheaper and takes very little longer.

Its a night flight - so we will be there early in the morning. We will be OK through the day. 2 full days should be OK in Helsinki. Should I go outside of Helsinki to visit any other city or village like the these that were mentioned here... Turku, Kotka, Suomenlinna Fort. Is it worth it if I have 2 full days? What about Sigulda and Kaunas near Riga. Also, Parnu and Tartu. This is what I have collected so far from everyones input.
Just wanted to know which is a must and which ones I shouldn't bother with.

I've been to Helsinki a couple of times, the first time in late-March 1999 (lots of snow on the ground) and just before Midsummer Day, 2017 (five mostly sunny or partly sunny days with the exception of the grey cloudy day on which I made a day trip to Tallinn).
Because I was staying in Katajanokka, a neighborhood adjacent to the city center, I took the Viking Lines fast ferry to Tallinn (around 2.5 hours; there's an even faster one that makes this journey in 2.25 hours). The roundtrip fare was 18 euros (again, this was June 2017). There are other ferry lines that go from Helsinki to Tallinn, such as the Silja and Ecker lines, both of which leave from Helsinki's West Harbor. The Viking Lines port at South Harbor is closest to the city centre. There is also ferry service from the Olympia terminal, but I think these ferries serve other destinations.
I recommend you see the city centre on your first day. Visit Helsinki Lutheran Cathedral in Senate Square, Old Market Hall and Market Square, Uspenski Orthodox Cathedral at the start of the Katajanokka neighborhood, and Esplanadi Park, around which you'll find some nice restaurants, within the part itself, Kappeli Restaurant. It's not a large park, less than four square blocks. If you are in the mood to shop or interested in Finnish design, pop into the Iitalla & Arabia store. Finland is known for its architecture and design. Pick up a tourist map from your hotel or from tourist information at Senate Square. The above attractions are all in the same area, you can visit them all, walking in a kind of loop. During the day, you might find a lot of cruise ship passengers around this area.
If you still have energy, take a short tram ride or walk to Helsinki's Central Train Station, especially if you caught a taxi instead of the train into Helsinki. The station, completed in 1914 and designed by Finnish-American Eliel Saarinen, is a prime example of Finnish Art Nouveau. Other interesting examples of architecture spread around this area include the small Kamppi Chapel; Kiasma Contemporary Art Museum, designed by American architect Steven Holl; Finlandia Hall, designed by Finnish architect Alvar Aalto; Temppeliaukio Church (Church in the Rock), to name a few. The Ateneum Art Museum: Finnish National Gallery is about a 5 minute walk from Central Train Station. The National Museum of Finland is also nearby but it's currently closed due to the construction of a new museum to open in 2027.
The Sibelius Monument is also worth seeing but farther out. For the Finns, Sibelius, as you might know, is more than just a composer: he is an icon, a source of national pride and this feeling is reflected in this monument. Before going there, check to see that it is open.
In terms of shopping or just browsing, you might be interested in the Artek store, which sells Finnish-designed modern furniture; or Stockmann, a department store; the Academic Bookstore, with an interior designed by Alvar Aalto. Marrimekko is also popular. If shopping for children, the Moomin store might appeal.
By the way, the Helsinki Festival of the Arts will be on from August 15 to Sept. 1. The full programme is not yet available, but I noticed Susanna Mlkki , one of the world's most sought-after conductors, will be conducting the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra in a performance of contemporary and modern US composers (John Adams, Charles Ives, etc.).
On your second day, visit Suomenlinna Island, the fortress island. The ferry from Old Market Square takes 15 to 20 minutes to get there. If you feel like taking a stroll through nature, also visit the neighboring island of Vallisaari. More about Vallisaari here. You can buy a ferry ticket that will allow you to stop at both islands. Historic Suomenlinna was interesting but bustling. By contrast, Vallisaari, home to a former military base, was serene and peaceful, an oasis of calm only 15 minutes from Helsinki's busiest spot. It doesn't offer "wow" scenery, but its trails are lovely and wooded, there are nice water views, and the island overerall is a good example of land repurposed, transformed and returned to nature. Furthermore, there were no midges or mosquitoes!
Helsinki has good restaurants. The restaurants we visited highlighted ingredients such as sea buckthorn, cloudberries, lingonberries, blueberries; spruce sprouts and black salsify; reindeer. elk and other game; fish such as pike, perch, vendace, Arctic char, and there was always smoked salmon and herring for hotel breakfasts. On both of our visits to Helsinki, my husband and I enjoyed our meals at Kuu restaurant. It's not fancy, but it's good and utilizes many local ingredients.
I think all of Helsinki's street names are in both Finnish and Swedish. I even saw one street sign in central Helsinki that was also in Russian (though maybe, given recent events, this is no longer the case). Modern Finland gained its independence from Russia in 1917, during the Bolshevik Revolution. It was a part of Russia from 1809 to 1917. Before this it was part of Sweden. I'm rubbish at history; you can learn more about this history on Wikipedia. But modern day Finland has been very much influenced by Sweden. Finland is an officially bilingual country with two national languages, Finnish and Swedish, languages with very different linguistic roots. Even Sibelius was more comfortable speaking Swedish than Finnish. By the way, "English is widely spoken in Finland, with 70% of people having a conversational level. Moreover, roughly 50% of Finns have an upper intermediate or advanced level in English."
Even though I had four full days in Helsinki (not counting my day in Tallinn) there were a couple of day-trip destinations I'd hoped and planned to visit that, in the end, never got to: the historic town of Porvoo and Nuuksio National Park (which might be of interest to the hikers in your group). They might want to look at this travel blog. Finland is known for its lakes and forests and the Finns are known for having a close relationship to nature. Both destinations can be reached by public transportation from Helsinki. I also wanted to visit a couple of market halls outside outside the tourist zone. Instead, I enjoyed much of my time walking along the waterfront, through the parks and neighborhoods.
The days will be long in August. It was easy to lose track of time. When we were there in midsummer, it never got very dark. On our first day in Helsinki, even though we had traveled in economy from Auckland, New Zealand (with connections in Sydney and Singapore), spent the day sightseeing, then went out to dinner, before returning to our hotel, I stayed up reading until 2 a.m.--because it was still not very dark out so I thought it was much earlier. You won't have as many daylight hours in August as in June.
On my day trip to Tallinn I only had about 4 hours to walk around. I walked from the ferry terminal to the Old Town, exploring it for more than an hour, not nearly enough time to see its major attractions. The Old Town was charming, quaint, cute. I hope to return with my husband someday (he spent most of his days at a conference). Eventually, I made my way to Viru Gate and caught a tram to Kadriorg Park, then walked 10 minutes to Kumu Estonian Art Museum, which was the place I'd most hoped to see (because of its contemporary architecture).Also, I didn't know anything about Estonian art, even though I used to work alongside an Estonian at a San Francisco art museum. The museum has an interesting collection of Soviet-era propaganda art. .
I have not visited Riga. Though after looking at photos of its stunning buildings, I'd probably spend 4 to 5 days there.
I'm sure I've told you more than you want to know about Helsinki, but as you probably won't be returning, I thought I should share what little I know.. I found this online pamphlet "Helsinki on Foot" very helpful.

I'm not the OP but thank you Diamantina for your post. We are taking a similar trip in July (same destinations and sequence, with slightly more time). I've been to Tallinn and Riga briefly a couple of decades ago, but neither of us has been to Helsinki. By the way, your posts have also been helpful on our two trips to New Zealand.

Seconding kja about Suomenlinna fort in Helsinki--quick to get to and really amazing to explore--it gives you great history and context for Finland's military rivalry with Sweden. I'd give yourself a few hours at least to explore it fully. I was in Helsinki for two full days and I thought it was absolutely worth it to have gone--my favorite thing in the city. The port area where the ferry takes off is also gorgeous and interesting. If you're a Moomin fan, there's great Moomin stuff as well, and if you're a karaoke fan, the KGB bar has fun private and public spaces for it while also giving you a taste of the history of Finland-Russia relations, as do the Russian Orthodox churches throughout the city. The Helsinki Cathedral is great too.

Thanks so much for your kind words, ms_go. It was nice to hear that I was able to assist you. Where else will you be going on your trip? Will you be visiting other Finnish towns or just stopping in Helsinki? If you feel like responding, please send me a PM (as I don't want to hijack OP's thread).
I forgot to mention one feature of dining in Helsinki: tipping is not compulsory (in this respect, similar to NZ). A service charge is normally added to the bill. I had a look at my photos from my Helsinki trip last night and I noticed a photo of a takeaway food stand at Market Square. Among the typical foods on offer: smoked reindeer, moose meatballs, pulled moose sandwich, salmon burgers and salmon soup.
As you are going in July, I should mention two major music festivals in July: the Pori Jazz Festival (Sting, Gregory Porter, etc.) in Pori and the Savonlinna Opera Festival (Turandot, Boris Godunov, Macbeth, etc), held in the medieval Olavinlinna (St. Olaf's Castle), built in 1475 and next to Finland's largest lake. I've heard the setting is wonderful. My husband, who first traveled to Finland before he met me, told me that there is a beautiful beach on the coast of Pori, Yteri. It could be more crowded in July. Then again, I can't imagine beaches in Finland getting that crowded.
That's one thing I like about Helsinki, apart from its tourist attractions and transportation hubs, it doesn't seem overly crowded or busy.

Thank you all so much! Really appreciate it. I will be collecting and organizing all of this information.
I would take a recommendation on a hotel and a restaurant.
I like to visit to 1 high-end restaurant in every country. Also, regarding a hotel, I would like to be in a central place where most of everything is short walking distance,

Look at reviews for Ravintola Olo ("ravintola" means restaurant), a one-star Michelin restaurant in Helsinki. We had on our list for our 2017 trip, but settled on a different one-star Michelin star restaurant, which closed a few days after we ate there.
Another thing worth mentioning about Finland: No country loves its saunas more than Finland, which has an estimated 2 to 3.3 million of them (for a population of under 5.6 million). Finland's sauna culture in 2020 was added to the UNESCO cultural heritage list. . Lyly is a sauna-restaurant on the Helsinki waterfront, but not so close to the city centre. I walked there on one of my long meandering urban walks. The architecture is very striking.
Swimmers would be interested in the open-air swimming pool close to Market Square, Allas.

We were in Helsinki,Tallin & Riga (plus Vilnius & Kaunas) last June. No super high end restaurants but we did have some great meals.
Places I recommend.
Helsinki-
Ravintola Kolme Kruunua- old school spot with all the classic dishes, we had a great lunch here. Try the squeaky cheese for desert
Ravintola Kuurna- it's a 3 course menu for dinner with a couple of choices for each course
Ravintola Kuu & its sister restaurant Ravintola KuuKuu- we had dinner at the first and lunch at the 2nd.
Restaurant Pompier- at night it's a full restaurant but at lunch it's a super popular lunch spot. Very good. There are two locations.
Tallinn
Rado- we had lunch here twice we liked it so much, the menu changes daily
Osteria Moderna Itaalia Restoran- very nice Italian, would need to take a Bolt (their version of Uber)
Restaurant Mantel & Korsten-the yuzu tart here was a favorite, would need to take a Bolt
Riga
Italissimo- excellent Italian
DOM- right in the old town but the food was surprisingly good, we had lunch here twice
Pētergailis, restorāns- I liked this one more than my husband did
Be sure to try the cinnamon rolls in Helsinki. And if you like licorice (like my husband) you'll be in heaven. The grocery stores have half an aisle full of different kinds.

Because we were in Helsinki for a large conference, we stayed at Scandic Grand Marina right across the street from the Scandic convention center. It was an okay hotel with a good location, but I would suggest not staying here, unless you want to be surrounded by conference attendees.
If you want to stay at a conveniently located higher end hotel, check out Hotel Kamp (old style on the Esplanadi, or Hotel Haven (modern, closer to Market Square), or Hotel St. George (between the waterfront and downtown shopping area/central railway station; it has a spa).
