HSL is the provider of public transportation in the Helsinki region. You can buy single and daily tickets using the HSL app. You can also buy tickets from ticket machines located at most stops and from R-kiosks. The “AB” ticket covers the entire Helsinki area. For travel to and from the airport, you will need an “ABC” ticket. You must keep the tickets always with you as inspectors check them randomly.
From the Helsinki airport, you can take a 30-minute train ride to Helsinki City Centre. The University is a 10-minute walk from the Central Railway Station. If your accommodation is close to the University, taking the train is probably much more convenient and cheaper than taking a taxi. Both trains I & P from the airport arrive at the Central Railway Station.
Eduroam is available at university premises. Visitors can also join the visitor network “HelsinkiUni Guest”:
