Our Scandinavia and Russia Invasion Plan

Recommended Posts

I see a couple of problems with Helsinki - I think you'll find that tram drivers don't sell the matkailijalippu tourist ticket anymore. A better bet for you would be catching the number 16 bus from the location circled in the picture below to Senate Square. Bus drivers do continue to sell the tourist pass and Senate Square is just a short walk to the market:

"On buses, trams and commuter trains you can buy single tickets from the driver or conductor. On buses and commuter trains, the drivers and conductors sell also one-day tourist tickets."

We had no problem buying the day pass ticket from the tram driver. He had a little cash register with a printer and he just printed out tickets for us!

Glad it worked out for you.

 

I still think the number 16 bus is a better bet for that particular part of the port. But I guess whichever works out timetable-wise for the end user. It's six of one/half-a-dozen of the other as to the distance walked on either end, though the walk from Senate Square to the market has to be (IMHO) nicer than the one to Docksgatan for the tram.

Hi Liz,

 

What program did you use to create your beautiful invasion plan? I am an organization nut and love how pretty your itinerary was (in addition to its usefulness as a guide).

 

Thanks,

Kristen

Hi Liz,

 

All I have to say is WOW!! If you aren't tired of sending out your full plan, could you send one to me at kideri at comcast dot net .

 

You could put me in a corner for a year and I could never come up with such a plan.

 

Thanks so much.

 

Dick
