Helsinki, Finland efschlenk The Star Princess docks in
an industrial area to the southwest of the city center, but public
transport is ideal – the bus stop is only 50 meters from the dock. Bus #16
goes along the esplanade to the farmer’s market and harbor, and bus #14B
goes north to the national museum and rock church. I recommend the former,
since the latter do not open till 1100 and 1000 respectively. Helsinki is
on the euro system, which makes purchases easy. An all day bus pass is 5
euro ($6.50) for a single, and 8 euro ($10.40) for a couple or family
traveling together. The bus driver does not sell these, but ours took us
to the farmers market for free, where we bought a pass at the small ferry
terminal (the ferry to Suomelinnen island and all trams and buses are
included in the pass) at the east end of the farmers market. Alternately,
the tourist information office is in a yellow building just west of the
market and opens at 0900. Free toilets are available (ands so is free
internet access) in the small museum next door to the tourist information.
