    Short answer

    The City of Helsinki says the disabled parking permit is issued by Traficom. With it you can park free of charge at paid parking spaces, in parking bays reserved for people with disabilities and in places where parking is otherwise prohibited. Helsinki's inner city also has resident parking, which costs 45–64.50 euros a month depending on the area. The city recommends parking garages for finding a space in central Helsinki.
