How does the Helsinki Card work?
Once you have your card, you're all set. All you need to do is show your Helsinki Card at each attraction to be scanned. Some attractions may have exceptions in their opening times so be sure to check before your visit.
There's no need to pay at the gate, all the attraction admissions on your card are included. In addition you can enjoy several special offers.
