Travel and transport agencies Helsinki

Right in the center of town, the superb station with its magnificent facade is a jewel of Finnish Art Nouveau. Daily departures for the whole country as far as Lapland, but also for Europe and Russia (St. Petersburg and Moscow). Did you know that the track gauge in Finland was adapted to Russia, not Europe? (In fact, we recommend watching Marcel Lozinski's short documentary 89 mm from Europe ) This partly explains why there are no direct train connections to Sweden.

Finn-Rent has been providing car rental services for over thirty years. They have several offices in Helsinki, including one at the airport.

Feel free to visit their website, or come and see them on site (don't hesitate to call first). The team is very friendly, and we recommend them! Remember to book early for the best rates.

A tourist office is open 7 days a week from 10am to 8pm (May-September) and from Monday to Saturday from 10am to 6pm and on Sundays from 12pm to 6pm (October to April).
