Helsinki Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

Your experience

Explore Helsinki at your own pace with a 24-hour hop-on hop-off bus ticket and onboard audio commentary.

Getting started

Begin by boarding the hop-on hop-off bus at any operational stop along the route using your bus tour ticket. Departure times listed in the schedule apply to Stop number 1, so plan your first boarding around these if you want a confirmed start time. In winter, check the calendar carefully, as only two departures run per operational day between October and April.

Hop-on hop-off Helsinki route

What to expect

Use a 24-hour hop-on hop-off system to move between Helsinki sights, staying onboard for a complete loop or getting off and back on as you choose. Full hop-on hop-off flexibility is available from May till the end of September, with a reduced schedule and more limited flexibility between October and April.

Features

• Onboard audio commentary in 10 languages is available throughout the route, so you can follow Helsinki’s key districts and sights in a language that suits you while you ride. The audioguided bus tour typically runs for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes per full loop.

• Onboard Wi-Fi is provided, allowing you to check routes, opening times, or onward connections while you travel between stops without using your own data.

• Individual earphones are included, so you can plug into the audio system as soon as you find your seat and listen comfortably without external noise.

• Welcome to Helsinki maps in English are available, helping you match what you hear on the commentary with the city layout and decide where to hop off next.

• Hop-on hop-off during the full season from May till the end of September operates every 30 to 40 minutes between 10am and 4pm, giving you frequent buses to reboard after exploring a stop.

• A reduced schedule with limited flexibility from October to April operates with two daily departures at 10:40am and 1pm, provided by either the Hop-On Hop-Off bus or the Blue Sightseeing Bus on available days shown in the booking calendar.

Wrapping up

When you finish your day, you can simply remain onboard until the bus returns to your preferred stop and then disembark. The 24-hour validity of your bus tour ticket lets you spread your rides within that period according to the seasonal timetable.
