伴侣岛露天博物馆

如果不想参观收费的部分，就不需要付钱。学生票6欧，当然要带着学生证才可以！安静的树林里点缀著可爱的木房子。里面的咖啡馆要到11点才开放——冬季会不会更晚就不得而知呢。

This small chapel is worth the visit. The architecture is pretty amazing and it's a peaceful refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.

Its a good place to visit, especially if the weather is nice. Nice scenery and nature is beautiful. One of my favorite places in Helsinki.

Hard to beat an open-air market where you can buy a quick lunch or fresh fruit or simply browse the other fine wares for sale. And if the weather turns on you - closed stalls are nearby offering lots of good treats including fine cheese, meats and chocolate.

We visited the open air museum on a Sunday afternoon in mid-July. We took tram #4 from downtown Helsinki, which dropped us a short distance from the museum parking lot. We were expecting this, and since the weather was so nice, we didn't mind the 15-minute walk. If the weather is inclement, I'd suggest taking bus #24, which stops just outside the parking lot on the mainland side before you cross to the island via the pedestrian bridge. We were surprised that the museum wasn't crowded ... a number of people were wandering around, but few were inside the buildings that were open to visitors that day. The structures gave us an interesting glimpse into life in Finland in the 18th and 19th century. The English-speaking tour wasn't until 3:00p, so we did a self guided tour using the map we were given at the ticket kiosk. We enjoyed strolling at our own pace and thought the 8 Euro admission for each of us was reasonable for what we saw. We ended up spending about 5 hours strolling the grounds and wandering in and out of the buildings.

Take a bus out to the island and walk across the bridge to enter this open air museum. Houses from different part of Finland have been rebuilt here and offer a lovely insight into rural life and culture of the different people in Finland.

one afternoon to visit this place where are situated the old Finnish houses . In the summer possibility to stop to the beach. Easy to reach with bus 24 from city center or tram 4 then a bit walking .

Seurasaari Island 'houses' a beautiful open-air museum which covers almost half of the island (there are signs to indicate where the museum part ends and the rest of the island starts). The museum depicts the simple life that Finns used to lead, surrounded by lakes, trees and wildlife; a very sharp contrast that is reinforced considering the modern age. Back in days gone by, they didn't have laptops, phones or any of the luxuries that we take for granted today. All they had were basic materials like wood (from which they constructed housing and means of transport, and used as a source of heat for keeping warm and cooking food), their natural surroundings and their immediate community......and presumably, that was enough to keep them content and happy.Some of the buildings on this island are very pretty. One that I remember quite well was a wooden residence which had been painted in such a way that made it look like the building was constructed out of bricks instead. There's another with a somewhat flowery pattern on the front which is iconic of French design.The island is accessed via a footbridge, at the bottom of which the bus number 24 terminates (therefore, you would have to be blind to miss it!), and it is free to visit. The entrance fee only applies to admission to certain buildings (around 6 or 7) which you can actually go inside if you've paid it. With the user-friendly map that they provide (not sure if you get this if you don't pay the fee though?), it's impossible to get lost within the museum area though the island is generally well sign-posted anyway. There are small signs/stands next to each building with little nuggets of information about that particular building which provide a helpful and enriching background/ context to your visit. The museum is only open for around 4 months of the year, from May to mid-September (check the website for the exact dates). I would set aside at least 4 hours or a good half-day to explore the museum half. You could easily spend the whole day walking around the rest of the island if you really wanted to, though I imagine it is more of the same. There were some very picturesque spots where I could have sat at from dawn to dusk, and there are plenty of nice spots for enjoying a picnic or two. Plenty of wildlife too; was even lucky enough to be able to take a photo of an elusive red squirrel that was flitting around the area I was walking around. I left this place with a calm mind and a greater appreciation not only of the beauty of nature, but also of the simple things in life.

If the weather is nice and you want to get some fresh air, please put your comfortable shoes on and visit the island of Seurasaari. It is free of charge.

Take the #24 bus to the end of the line and cross the bridge onto Seurasaari Island. Some 20 or more old wooden lodgings and buildings have been moved to this open-air museum from all over Finland representing how life was lived long ago. The visit to the farmsteads, church, lodgings in itself was amazing, but we really enjoyed the walk through the beautiful forest here and the view of the sea through the trees. A worthwhile excursion on a nice day, and a great place to bring children. I would love to even go here on a snowy day -- can't imagine anything more beautiful.

Nice historic preservation of Finnish buildings from various locations around the country. Cafe on the island in the summer. Bus stop at entrance makes it an easy place to visit.

I visited on a weekday in early September, bus 24 was a great way to get out from the city centre, you could see the Sibelius monument clearly - the bus drivers were very helpful.I paid €8 to go in to the museum area which meant that I could also access the (few) buildings open. Although these were interesting and well staffed, I felt that I would have got almost as much out if my visit if I had opted to just walk around the site and not bother with the buildings. The weather was unseasonable warm and sunny, no doubt the restricted off season opening times are based on the expectations of poor weather. I would go again, but in the "summer".

it's a really nice open air museum...I enjoyed much :) And it's quite near from the city center you can take bus 24 from the railwai stations.. ellielinaukio :)

One advantage of arriving into Helsinki by cruise ship is that you pass, literally, right by the Suomenlinna Maritime Fortress, giving the opportunity of a high-level view across the whole island.Being a relatively small ship, we berthed on the opposite side of the dock to the Katajanokka Ferry Terminal, from where ferries to Tallinn and elsewhere depart. A further advantage is that you are within a 15 minute walk of the centre of Helsinki. At the head of the dock is the departure point for the sightseeing cruise pleasure craft and the old market square, whose stalls offer a wide diversity of goods from food to clothes. The tourist information office is in a building at the top left corner of the market. Here we bought a 24-hour (from first use) Helsinki public transport day pass at a cost of €8. There is free wi-fi in the office but we were pleased to find free Helsinki wi-fi when we got back on our ship.Our first journey was on tram line 4 (T4) for two reasons. First, this was the closest route to where our ship was docked and we wanted to locate the nearest stop and walking route back to the ship. Then we used the tram to take us into the city centre for a re-familiarisation (we were here last in 2004) and visit to the railway station. Although hardly a tourist attraction, the station has a working model railway layout but we were interested to see the departure at 17.52 of the overnight train to St Petersburg and Moscow. In conjunction with the daytime services that link Helsinki with St Petersburg, this brings home the close ties between Finland and Russia.We set off next morning for Seurasaari Island and the open air museum which is situated on it. This museum comprises an assembly of old buildings found across Finland. The Helsinki public transport website is brilliant because it includes a journey planner. This gave the service interval for route T4, the departure time of trams from the stop nearest to Katajanokka Ferry Terminal and the stop at which we should alight for Seurasaari, namely Paciuksenkaari; the tram was scheduled to take 24 minutes. From Paciuksenkaari there is a mile walk to Seurasaari.Succeeding stops are displayed in the tram and this makes it easy to know where to alight. Of course, pretty much everyone we met spoke at least good English so asking a fellow passenger for help is never an issue. We could, of course, have used bus route 24, which terminates right at the bridge onto the island. The trouble with this is that the bus takes 45 minutes, only operates every 20 minutes (the tram runs every six minutes) and the 24 route runs nowhere near Katajanokka Ferry Terminal. Whilst we could have taken T4 to the centre of Helsinki and waited there for a 24 bus, at the time of our visit there were changes to bus and tram stops in that vicinity due to road work.We were on Seurasaari a shade after 10.00, before the museum and shop had opened. With thunder showers forecast for late morning, wandering around an open-air location in such conditions was most unattractive! Nevertheless, in an hour we saw what we wanted to see and left. Our timing was opportune. We missed a 24 bus back to Helsinki centre by half a dozen strides and walked back for a T4. By now the weather had turned and our tram ride back was marked by rain.We took the opportunity to use our 24-hour public transport card to switch from T4 to a T2 in order that we might explore more of the city. We travelled past the Katajanokka Ferry Terminal, swung inland and round until we arrived back in the city centre. All much easier than walking! Returning back to Katajanokka, we walked through the Market Square. This is internationally known, and is instantly recognisable by the bright orange and yellow umbrellas, under which the stalls are located. Goods for sale are varied, and range from traditional foods, to handicrafts and souvenirs. There is also a heated café tent where you can buy hot drinks even on the coldest days in winter. You can spend a delightful half an hour wandering through these little stalls, and most people we spoke to had a good command of the English language. A long tradition at the Market Square (origin unknown) is a display of old American cars on the first Friday of every month. Apparently any motorist with an interest in old American cars can participate. Interestingly, despite it not being the first Friday of the month, we saw several old American cars being driven round the square, and most appeared in extremely good condition. One wonders what the cost of driving these cars is now, as the price of both petrol and diesel was more expensive than in the UK, about £1.60 per litre!

Worth to see ans walk around island. This is a nice place to saw how people lived before, all the open exhibitions have a note so you can read about it.
