We recommend you to go up on deck at dawn, you will have a beautiful panoramic view. The arrival in Finland is made by contouring the archipelago of Aland. We will arrive in Turku and take a walk around the city. Then we will continue to the neighboring town of Naantali, a very picturesque village of wooden houses by the sea. We will continue our tour to Helsinki, arrival and time for lunch. We will have the rest of the afternoon free to explore the city, its old market and contemplate the Russian influence in its buildings and churches.
In our program we will have included a boat trip to the islands of Suomenlinna, six islands in which highlights the great fortress that protected the entrance of the city and has been declared a World Heritage Site. We will stroll around the area and we can cross from one island to another through its pedestrian bridges. In the afternoon we will take a ferry to Estonia, it will be a journey of more than two hours but it will give us beautiful landscapes.
Today we will travel from Estonia to Russia. We will make a stop in Narva where we will have time to see the impressive fortress by the river and on the border between the two countries. Continue to St. Petersburg. Arrival at the hotel and accommodation.
The TRANSIBERIAN, crossing all of Russia for 60€.
Oslo airport is the main airport in the country and where most international flights arrive. It has connections to more than 100 destinations. Keep in mind, however, that you may have to change planes before reaching your final destination.
Most of the train routes from the mainland are night trains and all have sleeping compartments. There are discount vouchers for train travel both from Europe and within Norway. Not all trains offer first class service, but second class is of excellent quality.
In any case, no matter which country you arrive from, you will find customs controls at the border. At the border point separating Borisoglebsky (Russia) and Storskog (Norway) it is also necessary to go through passport control.
