I’d like to emphasise very strongly the value which the Helsinki card provides. The cost has risen slightly.
The national museum on Mannerheimintie is closed for renovations and will reopen in 1999. During this time exhibitions will be held at Laivurinkatu 3, via tram 1A, 3B or 3T. However the exhibitions are very narrow in their scope and concentrate on only a few aspects of Finnish history and culture. In my opinion, it is not worth the trek.
The Helsinki city museum, opposite the national museum is also closed for renovations this year.
The Lutheran Cathedral on Senaatintori square is also closed for renovations during 1998.
The indoor market on the quay above the Tallink express depot is worth a visit for the variety of foods on display.
