Spouse Guest Day Tours

Our spouse guest program is all things Finland!

DAY 1: Enjoy the fresh air and beautiful views of the Helsinki forest where a guided tour will take you on a small wellness hike. After one to two hours in the forest, return to city center for private yoga. Continue your day with lunch, a private sauna, and swimming at the warm and cool sea pools at well-known Allas Seapool. There is also a walkable shopping area if you choose not to partake in the sauna and sea pools. 

DAY 2: Take a walk in the life of a Fin! Start your day with a visit to the Ateneum Art Museum where you will see local and international classics. A short trip to the center of Helsinki, for a charming lunch at Restaurant Lasipalatsi, with a 1930s feel and classic Finnish dishes. Once finished, take a trip to Temppeliaukio Church, designed in 1969 under the natural bedrock which is why it is also known as The Rock Church. End the day with shopping down Esplanadi Park where we will tour the Marimekko shop, Market Square, and the Helsinki Cathedral.
