This is Ilves's second trip to Finland since beginning his second term last week. Ilves also visited Finland in the early days of his first term as Estonia's president in 2006.
On Tuesday, Ilves travels on to the European Parliament in Brussels, and an event celebrating the independence regained by the Baltic countries 20 years ago.
Ilves will be back in Finland again in late October to promote books by himself and his wife Evelin Ilves at the Helsinki Book Fair.
