Helsinki has excellent public transport, and is recommended route to Kumpula. HSL reittiopas is essential to find the easiest route. If you are coming from the center, the easiest route is probably via one of the stops at Hämeentie. If you are coming from Pasila, then tram 13 is your best option. Both approaches will require a short walk through a small forest park, uphill, as university buildings are on a hill surrounded by a small forest, see .

is strongly recommended to buy tickets, and to search for your route (you can enter Exactum as your destination). Helsinki region is divided into zones A, B, C, and D, but you cannot buy a ticket with a single zone. Most likely the correct ticket is AB.

If you are driving, then parking is free on the streets around the campus, but it can sometimes be difficult to find an empty spot. There is parking against fee on the northern side of Exactum building ( app is required). If you are coming from center by car, then driving via Hakaniemi can be daunting due to a very large construction site.

Lunch is on your own. Kumpulan kampus has several restaurants nearby, see . Student restaurant Chemicum is located in Chemicum building.

A slightly better, and slightly more expensive option, is restaurant in Finnish Meteorological Institute, all the way down in the lobby. For a soup-and-salad lunch there is Cafe Arktis also in Finnish Meteorological Institute, right stairs down from the lobby. When visiting Finnish Meteorological Institute, you are required to wear a visitor badge, which are available at the front desk.

For even lighter option, there is (Uni)cafe Physicum, which mainly sells sandwiches and pastries.

The Monday dinner is in the center (not in Kumpula!). The address is . It can be reached by walking, if you are already in the center, or by bus if you are coming from Kumpula, consult for the exact route.
