Day 2 Arrive Helsinki, Finland

Meals included:
Accommodations: Scandic Grand Marina or similar

Morning: Arrive in Helsinki, where a driver will meet you at the airport and assist you with the transfer to your hotel, where you'll be joined by your fellow travelers, including those who took our pre-trip extensions to Stockholm, Sweden.

Helsinki's historic center dates from the early 19th century, when Russia ruled Finland and designated this city as the country's new capital. As a result, the city has both a Russian look and a more modern layout than other European capitals. Graced with many buildings by noted Finnish architects such as Alvar Aalto, Helsinki today is a masterpiece of urban design.

Depending on when you arrive, you may also enjoy a guided orientation walk with your Program Director to give you the lay of the land in your Helsinki neighborhood.

Lunch/Afternoon: Yours to do as you please. Your Program Director will be happy to recommend a spot for lunch and free time activities.

Dinner/Evening: Continue making independent discoveries this evening, with dinner on your own. Ask your Program Director for restaurant recommendations.
