Helsinki: Midsummer Steam Train to Turku & 3-Course Meal

Celebrate Midsummer on a heritage train journey from Helsinki to Turku. Enjoy live music, a 3-course Finnish meal, and a nostalgic atmosphere on a steam locomotive.
Experience Finnish Midsummer in a truly memorable way aboard Reissujuna’s Midsummer Train, a special heritage rail journey from Helsinki to Turku on June 19.

This is not just transportation. It is a five-hour moving celebration on historic rails, hauled by Reissujuna’s steam locomotive and designed for travelers who want the journey itself to become part of the summer experience.

The train departs from Helsinki at around noon and arrives in Turku at approximately 5:00 PM, giving you time to continue your evening with Midsummer celebrations in Turku, along the riverside, or in nearby summer destinations such as Naantali.

On board, enjoy a traditional Finnish Midsummer atmosphere with live music, nostalgic sounds, quality food, drinks, and a fully licensed restaurant car. The dining experience includes a three-course Finnish Midsummer menu featuring sautéed game with homemade mashed potatoes and lingonberries, a traditional salmon-filled sulhaspiirakka to start, and chocolate pudding for dessert. A vegetarian option is also available, and dietary requirements should be shared when placing the order.

The atmosphere is created by Finnish performers including Pekko Käppi, known for his powerful folk-inspired sound and jouhikko playing; Jantso Jokelin, a Helsinki-based blues-folk artist, songwriter and harmonica player; and DJ Old Crank, who plays music on a hand-cranked gramophone using genuine shellac records from another era.

The Midsummer Train is ideal for travelers looking for a distinctive Finnish cultural experience, couples and friends celebrating the start of summer, railway enthusiasts, food lovers, and visitors who want to experience Finland beyond standard sightseeing.
