Suomenlinna (in Finnish - Viapori, in Swedish - Sveaborg) is one of the biggest sea fortresses in the world.

It was included in Unesco’s World Heritage list in 1991 as a unique example of European military architecture of that time. The fortress has a selection of restaurants and cafés. The Visitor information Centre is located in the heart of the fortress at Tykistölahti bay and there is the point for starting of the walking tour. In summer there are daily guided tours in English, Swedish and Finnish. In the winter there are tours in English just during the weekends.
