Getting around Helsinki – guide public transportation and travel

Getting around Helsinki is refreshingly simple and convenient. With HSL (Helsinki Region Transport), you can use a single ticket across the city’s entire public transport network, including trams, buses, the metro, commuter trains, and ferries. This includes the popular ferry to Suomenlinna, a UNESCO World Heritage Site just a 15-minute ride from the Market Square. For those arriving by air, the I and P commuter trains connect Helsinki Airport to the city center in just 30 minutes. During the summer, the city’s iconic yellow city bikes offer a fun and eco-friendly way to explore, with over 4,600 bikes available at 460 docking stations. Whether you’re exploring the city or heading to the islands, HSL makes it easy to travel like a local.
