Helsinki
Helsinki looks best from the water, so I lined up the cruises that earn an afternoon. Boats leave from Market Square and thread past Suomenlinna, the sea fortress begun in 1748 across a cluster of islands. Most routes only sail May to September.
Yearning for a unique Helsinki experience? Join the Sightseeing Canal Cruise with intriguing audio commentary, unraveling the city's secrets with every turn.
