Travelling Between Helsinki Airport and City Centre

Finland is the world's most happiest country. After I visited the Scandinavia, I should not miss Finland which is near Sweden.

Travelling between Helsinki Airport and City Centre by bus or train are both convenient.
After pass immigration (very strict) and picked up the luggage, I bought the train ticket. I recommend taking the train because it is convenient especially you have the luggage.

You can check the detail on the board.

I arrived Helsinki station around 10 pm. Even it's late night, there were people walking around central station. Of course, the shops are closed. It's cold and windy so I hurried to get to hotel. The bus and tram stop are in front of the central station.

Helsinki Central Station (Finnish: Helsingin päärautatieasema, Swedish: Helsingfors centralstation) is the main station in Helsinki. There are hotels and shopping places around this station. You can use day ticket taking the bus, tram and metro with unlimited rides. Just keeping the ticket with you, no need to show to the driver. I was surprise seeing many women drive the trams. It's nice. Also, many people here smoke in this city.
