Information¶
Gay-focused¶
Public transportation¶
-
Most travel in the Helsinki area can be done with HSL. This includes the train from the airport to the city centre.
-
Airport is zone C. The city centre is zone A. For visiting CSC, a zond AB ticket is enough except for the trip to and from the airport.
-
The easiest way to buy tickets is via the HSL app, see below. If you stay multiple days and do three rides on some days, then the multi-day tickets are rather interesting, even more so than buying 10 or 20 tickets at once.
