The panoramic (skyline) Of the Helsinki port, it's not how I met her in my last trip to the finnish capital.

Indeed, a giant ferris wheel which will remain at least until 2018, and which will undoubtedly become an important tourist attraction in the city.

La Finnair Sky Wheel, which is what it is called because it is sponsored by the Finnish airline, the new 40-meter-high Ferris wheel that you can see in the port of Helsinki tries to emulate other similar attractions with great tourist success.

The best example is London Eye which was inaugurated in London in the year 2000, although it is a Ferris wheel larger than the one in Helsinki, as it reaches 135 meters high.

La new giant ferris wheel  It incorporates 40 glass cabins, some of them with VIP service, and is located on the port dock known as Katajanokka, very close to the Uspensky Orthodox Cathedral. From there you will undoubtedly have the best panoramic views of Helsinki.

The Helsinki giant ferris wheel schedule They are, Monday to Thursday, from 10 a.m. to 22 p.m.; Fridays and Saturdays, from 10 a.m. to 23 p.m.; and on Sundays, from 10 a.m. to 20 p.m.

El price to enjoy this attraction is 12 euros, although if you have the card Finnair Plus You have a discount and you will pay 9 euros.

I definitely have a date with the new giant Ferris wheel for a future visit to Helsinki.
