Public transportation info

Helsinki has very practical public transformation system. Buses and trams are probably the ones you need when travelling between the locations of your hotel, conference venue, receptions and banquet.

In Helsinki, you can use either HKL or YTV buses. There are no specific colors or outlook for any of the buses. Instead, you have to read the visible numbers in front.

Information about how to use the public transportation.

You'll find the tram timetables on the Web.

Routes for the trams are in tram routemap.

Also bus timetables are on the Web, along with a bus routemap.

The HKL tram and bus info is available only in Finnish (and Swedish), but the info should be clear without knowing any Finnish.

The YTV buses operate similarily. They cross the city borders, but if travelling inside Helsinki, the same tickets are valid also on YTV buses. YTV bus timetable info is only in Finnish.
