Summertime Flights to Helsinki
Those searching for summer holiday flights to Helsinki should know that the summer tourism season begins in May and continues to the end of September in Helsinki, plenty of time to plan the perfect holiday. Each summer around 800,000 tourists visit in Helsinki, and with good reason. Locals know the summer visitors are expected when the sightseeing cruises begin sailing again, the island restaurants open, and the outdoor markets spring to life.
Another clear sign that the tourist season has begun is the arrival of passengers from the international cruise ships. Hundreds of cruise ships come to Helsinki where visitors take tours for a day or simply wander about the city, shopping and dining.
Visitors who take flights to Helsinki for their holiday will have far more time than the cruise ship passengers to enjoy all the summertime activities in Helsinki. During the hottest days of summer, tourists and local both flock to soak up the sun at the Hietaranta swimming beach, a pristine, supervised beach where visitors will find a children’s playground, a weightlifting area, and more.
The best part is that the days are very long in the summer with plenty of time to enjoy the beach and all the other attractions in Helsinki including the vibrant nightlife. You’ll be glad that you’re able to stay while the cruise ship passengers have to be on their way quickly.
