Midsummer 2018 in Suomenlinna
The Midsummer celebration is right around the corner. Helsinki is quieting down during Midsummer, but majority of the services in Suomenlinna will continue to serve visitors throughout the Midsummer holidays. We invite you to come to Suomenlinna to visit museums, enjoy a good meal or perhaps take a guided tour to learn more about Suomenlinna’s colourful past.
Ferry and waterbus operate from morning till evening
During Midsummer, from 22 nd to 24th of June, Suomenlinna ferry will operate according to the weekend schedule. JT-Line waterbus commutes during Midsummer as well. Timetables for the waterbus can be checked here.

Of the six museums on Suomenlinna, five will remain open throughout the Midsummer holidays. A combined ticket for the museums is available for the price of €19. The combined ticket is valid throughout the summer, until 30th of September. The museums also accept the Finnish Museums Association’s “Museokortti” – Museum Card.
