Transportation

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you drive a car in Finland and you want to park on a place where it’s not free to do so, you have to use a so called “Pysäköintilippu” (Parking ticket) which you put behind your windscreen. Otherwise you’ll get a fine. Parking tickets can be bought at all “R-Kioski” shops.

In the Helsinki area you can rely for transportation on HKL, the City’s Transportations Company to bring you from point A to point B. There is a very good net of bus lines but in the inner city it can be quicker to use the tram.

 

 

 

For long distance travel it might be better to use the VR trains or the long distance busses of Pohjolanliikenne. Busses are very convenient if you want to go to small places.
