    How do I get from Helsinki Airport to the city centre?

    The three main ways to travel between the airport and Helsinki.

    Short answer

    You have three main options. The I and P commuter trains run from the airport station to Helsinki Central Station; HSL says the I train takes about 27 minutes. HSL trunk bus 600 runs to the centre in about 40 minutes and operates around the clock. A taxi takes about 25 minutes, according to Visit Finland. All HSL options need a ticket for zones A, B and C.

    Why

    1. HSL says the I train from the airport takes about 27 minutes to Helsinki.
    2. Finavia says bus 600 takes about 40 minutes and runs around the clock.
    3. Visit Finland gives about 25 minutes for a taxi to the centre.

    Details

    The airport railway station is under the terminal, reached by escalators and lifts. The bus stops are in front of the terminal on the arrivals level.

    Tip

    Buy the HSL ticket in the app or with a contactless bank card before you board.

    What may differ

    Trains do not run through the whole night. Late at night bus 600 or a taxi may be the only options.

    Common misconception

    You need a special airport ticket for the train.

    What actually happens

    A normal HSL ticket for zones A, B and C is valid on the airport train.
