Public TRANSPORTATION in HELSINKI | FINLAND Travel Guide
Helsinki is fairly small as Capitol cities go, but not small enough to have just one simple method of transportation. Not the fear though! We have broken it down and made public transportation easy for anyone on any budget!
In this video you will discover a variety of bus lines, city tram networks, metro and regional trains, Helsinki Airport transportation, self-service bike rentals and of course, Masha’s favorite form of transportation….walking (check out the app Izi Travel for a list of Helsinki walking tours)!
With So much different types of transportation methods, purchasing options, kiosks, and apps it is almost impossible to try and memorize them all. But moving around the city is actually easier than it seems.
After watching this video you should feel confident about how to get to and from the city, how to best get around the city and how to do it within your budget!.
Listed below are all the various transportation options we tried in Helsinki and will explain to you in this comprehensive and concise Transportation Helsinki video (shameless keyword):
1. City Trams: The reliable and extensive tram network has 11 lines, and it connects the different parts of the inner city to each other. Annually, the tram network has nearly 57 million passengers.

2. Metro – The Helsinki Metro (Finnish: Helsingin metro, Swedish: Helsingfors metro) is a rapid transit system serving Greater Helsinki. It is the world’s northernmost metro system. The metro system consists of 2 lines, which serve a total of 25 stations. It has a total length of 35 kilometres (22 mi). The metro serves as the predominant rail link between the suburbs of East Helsinki and the western suburbs in the city of Espoo and downtown Helsinki.
3. Buses – The public transportation system has three zones: internal, extended region (2 and 3) and the whole region (all zones). Internal covers a single city. Regional covers the Helsinki metropolitan area or the whole area without Helsinki. The whole region covers the Helsinki metropolitan area and additionally the Kerava, Kirkkonummi and Sipoo municipalities.
A new system comprised of four (4) zones was introduced in April 2019. Internal, regional and extended regional tickets have now been replaced with Zones A, B, C and D.

Thank you to one of our friends for pointing out that the tram labeled PUB is ACTUALLY A PUB!!! How we didn't discover this I dont know but here are the deets…SpåraKoff is a fire-red tram that has been converted into a restaurant, touring the central sights of downtown Helsinki.
The restaurant serves thirty and is decorated in classic pub style using mahogany and brass. In addition to the driver, the bar staff is there to serve you. The ride features beer, cider, refreshments, fun and great views.
Departures from Mikonkatu stop in front of the Fennia building, next to the Helsinki Railway Square. Possible to exit the tour at Linnanmäki-, Oopperatalo- and Kauppatori-stops. Check out more from: https://www.myhelsinki.fi/en/see-and-do/activities/sp%C3%A5rakoff
