KirkkonummiKyrkslätt
Spend a half‑day on the Porkkala historic sites and Hvitträsk manor; add a night if you want hiking in Nuuksio or a golf round.
Kirkkonummi lies 30 km west of Helsinki in Uusimaa, on the historic King's Road. Its main draws are the Soviet‑era Porkkala remnants, the Hvitträsk manor, and easy access to Nuuksio National Park. The town centre is walkable; public transport (HSL zone D) links it to Helsinki in 30‑45 min. One day covers the key sights; an extra night lets you enjoy outdoor activities without rushing.

Rules in force · 7Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
- Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
- Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
- Nordic countries ↗Decide light or dark before anything else: summer trips (June–August) and aurora trips (September–March in the Arctic) need different countries, clothes and bases.
- Nordic countries ↗Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and the Faroes sell stronger alcohol only in state shops with short hours; buy before evening and before Sundays and holidays.
- Finland ↗Finland is in the EU and the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources; the EU's Entry/Exit System registers non-EU visitors at the first Schengen border.
- Finland ↗The land border with Russia is closed to travellers; do not plan a route across it.
- Finland ↗Everyman's rights let you walk, camp for a night and pick berries on most land, but not near homes, and not to make fires without permission.
Entry rules depend on your passport. Full visa guide
