The Doll and Toy Museum, one of the various museums in Suomenlinna, has a collection of over 2,000 toys (dolls, dolls' houses, teddy bears, toy cars, etc) dating from 1830 onwards. The small, cosy museum also includes a quaint café. Visiting this old Russian villa is worthwhile especially if you are visiting Suomenlinna anyway. In addition to the toys there is also a collection of Russian samovars and the museum also holds special exhibitions. To get to Suomenlinna take a ferry from the Market Square.

royal.line@royalline.fi If you're not content with taking the ordinary bus tour of the city, why not admire Helsinki's sights from a different perspective. The boat tours arranged by Royal Line let you enjoy the city by sea. Two such tours are available: the Traditional Helsinki by Sea tour taken onboard M/S Natalia, and the Helsinki Under the Bridges tour on M/S Katarina. These give visitors the special opportunity of exploring Helsinki's older districts, landmarks, monuments and buildings. The tours include beautiful churches, monuments, the coastline Helsinki's islands, and the magnificent Suomenlinna fortress. The tours take an hour-and-a-half, and are arranged several times a day during the summer. Commentary is given in English, Swedish and German. Ticket prices may or may not include meals, depending on what you ask from the tour operator.
