This small (length 40.9 meters) submarine was launched in 1933. It was one of the 5 submarines which served the Finnish Navy. Nowadays it is the only submarine in Finland after the 1947 Paris Peace Treaty banned Finland from having submarines. However, Vesikko has been restored and turned into a museum. It is very interesting to see how small room... More

The submarine is the only one existing in Finland. When you enter, you will be surprised how small it is. Interesting to see, and read the logbook. More

We went on the submarine as we were on the island. It's definitely worth doing, it's quite an experience being on a submarine, especially one that small. I should think it's rather awkward to see if busy as it's so tight inside. It probably only takes 10-15 minutes so 5 euros is perhaps steep but hey, you're on holiday and... More

The fee to get into the submarine includes a walk through the submarine. It is placed posters around the ship that explains the... More

It is just a small ww2 submarine but well worth a visit when taking a walk around Suomenlinna islands. When in Suomenlinna you are supposed to go see this and Maneesi and the fortifications themselves. Its quick to see, easy to find and very enlightening. Have fun! More
