Good to know before you go
The currency is the euro and tipping is minimal, as service is included and rounding up is plenty. Finnish and Swedish are official, though English is widely spoken, and getting around could not be easier thanks to excellent trams, metro, buses, and ferries on a single ticket, so a car is unnecessary in the compact, walkable centre. The city is very safe, making it a relaxing place to explore on foot.
