Additionally, consider ferry rides to nearby islands and partake in seasonal festivals, all of which provide great value for money while immersing you in the city's rich heritage.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover potential last-minute deals to Helsinki, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted hotel rates close to your departure date.
