Which ticket do you need for the Suomenlinna ferry?
Ticket options for the ferry, including the trip back.
Short answer
Any HSL ticket valid in zone A works, because Suomenlinna is in zone A. HSL gives the AB single ticket price as 3.30 euros, valid for 90 minutes. For the return trip you can pay by contactless bank card, buy in the HSL app, or use the ticket machine on the pier on Suomenlinna. Day tickets are handy if you also travel in the city.
Why
- HSL says Suomenlinna is in fare zone A.
- HSL lists contactless payment, the app and the pier machine for the return.
- The Suomenlinna website gives the ferry ticket information in English.
Details
A single ticket is valid for 90 minutes. If you stay longer on the island, you need a new ticket for the trip back.
Tip
If you plan several trips in a day, compare the price of a day ticket with two single tickets.
What may differ
Prices change, usually at the start of the year. Check HSL for the current fares.
Common misconception
The Suomenlinna ferry needs a ticket for zones A, B and C.
What actually happens
Suomenlinna is in zone A, so any ticket with zone A is valid.
