Anyone interested in art would find the unbelievable graffiti wall worth a visit. Located on the road where international concerts are held (Tor Wyscigow Konnych ???) it is about a mile long.

Tramming about Helsinki
The Helsinki City Transport guide details the places of interest on the route of the Number 3T tram. The route starts at the Market Square and describes a figure of eight, returning to the start point in approximately 55 minutes. The various ticket prices as described under the Helsinki tram section of the guide are applicable, thus enabling the traveller either to traverse the entire route or to hop on and off trams if using the extended ticket.
We obtained our copy from a tourist information bus which parks beside the ferry terminal, when cruise liners are in port. Otherwise, pamphlets may be obtained from the Transport Department or from the information office at Market Square. You can imagine the reaction of our fellow travellers, who had paid anything up to ?25.00 for an organised bus tour to find that we had had our own City Tour of Helsinki for just under 90 pence.
