Where to Take Kids in Helsinki, Finland

Finland’s capital city is off the more familiar tourist routes in Europe, so you probably won’t have many friends giving you tips on what to do there. But it’s a good city to enjoy with the whole family, with a good mix of made-for-kids attractions and others with plenty to keep them interested. Begin at the tourist office, where you can pick up a kid-friendly Helsinki map listing attractions, museums, cafes, restaurants, skate parks, playgrounds and special family offers.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
