How long is the train from Helsinki Airport to the city?
Which train to take and how long the ride is.
Short answer
About half an hour. Both the I and P commuter trains run between Helsinki Airport station and Helsinki Central Station on the ring rail line. HSL gives about 27 minutes for the I train. Finavia gives about 30 minutes for the train trip as a whole. The trains run frequently from early morning until late evening.
Why
- HSL gives about 27 minutes for the I train to Helsinki.
- Finavia gives about 30 minutes for the train trip.

Details
The I and P trains go round the ring line in opposite directions, so either one takes you to Helsinki. Pick the one that leaves first, as the difference in time is small.
Tip
The ticket for zones A, B and C costs the same on the train as on bus 600.
What may differ
Track works sometimes replace trains with buses. Check disruption notices in the HSL app.
