    Does the Helsinki metro run at night?

    When the metro runs late and what to use after it stops.

    Short answer

    HSL lists dates in 2026 when the metro runs about two hours later than usual, including May Day Eve on 30 April, the last school day on 30 May, Fridays and Saturdays from 13 November to 12 December before Christmas, and New Year's Eve. During events in June 2026, the last metros left the Central Railway Station at about 1.40am. Night buses also run with extra services on these dates if needed.

    Why

    1. HSL lists the dates with metro running about two hours later.
    2. HSL says pre-Christmas Fridays and Saturdays get later metros in 2026.
    3. HSL gives last departures around 1.40am during June events.

    Details

    HSL recommends the metro for trips home from big events because it has more capacity than buses.

    Tip

    Plan your route home in the HSL app before the evening.

    What may differ

    On Sunday 25 October 2026 summer time ended and clocks went back at 4am, which affects night timetables.

    Common misconception

    The Helsinki metro runs 24 hours at weekends.

    What actually happens

    There is no all-night metro. Night buses run instead.
