VALLISAARI

Experience the hidden treasure of the Helsinki archipelago!

Discover Vallisaari, the most diverse natural destination in the Helsinki archipelago. Just 25 minutes from Helsinki’s center, Vallisaari offers a unique blend of meadows, groves, ponds, dozens of butterfly species, deer, badgers, and bats. This island is a natural haven right in the heart of a forest.

Natural Experiences and Historical Sights

Located between Suomenlinna and Santahamina, Vallisaari is renowned for its natural beauty and historical significance. The Kustaanmiekka Strait, separating Vallisaari and Suomenlinna, is famously known as the Gibraltar of the North.

Explore the island via a well-maintained ring road.

• • • Visit the Alexander Battery, one of the highest points in the archipelago, for stunning views.
    • On the eastern side of Kuninkaansaari, find a sandy cove with a beach perfect for swimming.
    • Admire the passing ships.
    • And the fortifications of Kustaanmiekka from the cliffs of Vallisaari.
