Take a look at my album and join me for an adventure! Let’s say hi to the mischievous Barbary ape at Helsinki Zoo, go for a ride on Kingi, the new ride at Linnanmäki Amusement Park, see the dinosaurs at the Natural History Museum and so much more! Inside my albumyouwillfindcouponswithgreatspecial offers for exploring Helsinki.

You can pick up maps and get great tips from Tourist Information opposite the Market Square. You might even bump into me! You’ll recognise me from my spots.

Useful tips for a successful visit!

Getting around easilyWith our great public transport system, I love exploring different parts of Helsinki, both near and far. Listen to the humming of the tram tracks, the swish of the metro tunnels and the splashing of the waves as you admire the views through the tram windows, race under-ground in the metro and cruise around the islands on a ferry.

Taking the little ones with you is also easy, as strollers and prams are welcome on buses, trams and trains, as well as on the metro and ferries. In fact, parents who are pushing a stroller or pram travel free of charge!

You can purchase single tickets and day tick-ets, or alternatively you can pick up the Helsinki Card, which includes free public transport and manyotherbenefitsthatwillhelpyoutodiscoverand experience Helsinki while saving money, time and energy during your visit. ■www.helsinkicard.fi

When your tummy rumblesWinter, spring, summer or fall – you need to eateveryday!Hereyouwillfindsomegreatrestaurant tips: ■www.visithelsinki.fi ■www.eat.fi

You will also come across all kinds of interesting pop-up restaurants in the city’s parks, on street corners and inside courtyards during Restaurant Day on 17 May, 17 August and 15 August 2014. This great event invites anyone to set up their own restaurant for a day!

If you get a boo-boo Children have a habit of falling over and hurting themselves when they are having fun. For-tunately, most of the time a kiss and plaster are enough. However, if you do need to see a doctor, there are plenty of medical centres in Helsinki that are open around the clock. See for example: ■www.aava.fi ■www.diacor.fi ■www.dextra.fi ■www.mehilainen.fi

Marvel at the wonders of nature at the Natural History Museum ■ Pohjoinen Rautatiekatu 13; www.luomus.fi/museo/
