How to get here ?

By air

A natural choice for flying to Finland is one of the world's oldest operating airlines called Finnair. Other airlines you can use are for example SAS and Blue1. The arrival is at the Helsinki-Vantaa airport. There are different kinds of transport services at the airport:


  • Taxi. The cost is about 35 EUR to Aalto University Campus.
  • Airport Taxi. A yellow cab, which is a bit cheaper, around 25 EUR. It takes other passengers heading for your direction as well, so the trip takes a bit longer. The airport taxi has a booth in the lobby right after the customs.
  • Finnair Citybus which takes you to the Helsinki City center. The cost is 5,20 EUR.
  • Bus 615 to the Helsinki City Center (recommended). The cost is 4,00 EUR. The ticket is valid 80 minutes from the time of purchase in all public transport vehicles in the capital area. More about public transport in Helsinki area here.

The trip from the airport to the city or to the Aalto University Campus area takes half an hour by taxi, or a little more by public transport. If the traffic is heavy it may take extra 15 minutes.
