Helsinki airport
The airport of Helsinki - Vantaa, is located in the town of the same name and is situated about 20 km from the center of the capital. The Finnish airport is the hub of the Finnair flag carrier, but operates over 40 airlines, guaranteeing direct flights to 130 destinations spread over 45 countries worldwide.
Among the services offered, free wireless connection; the Fast Parking, which allows you to leave the car keys in a box and collect the receipt; various rooms for meetings and conferences.
Those who need to move from the Vantaa airport to the center of Helsinki, have access to the recent railway line, characterized by trains named with the letters of the alphabet.
The service with Finnair Bus is managed by the national airline and is operative from 5:45 am to 1:10 am. However, neither the bus nor the train takes visitors directly to their accommodation, a problem especially when travelling with children or arriving in the Finnish capital at particularly inconvenient hours.
An apparently good alternative is public taxis, which are not considered very cheap though.
Helsinki Transports
The company that handles public transport in the Finnish capital is called HSL. The reason for this company's pride is the fact that Helsinki's transport network is considered one of the best in the world.
So, how to move within the city? Among the possible options there are the subways with its "Y" path, punctual urban buses both day and night and the tram network, consisting of 12 lines that are the most used vehicles even if they are not very fast.
An alternative means of transport in Helsinki is the ferry, which connects the capital with the Suomenlinna naval base.
The city's public taxis are white and have their stations at the railway station and Senaatintori square. They are the least used public transport because their cost is not considered very cheap.

The best choice for those visiting the Finnish capital, especially in the middle of winter, is to take a transfer to and from Helsinki airport.

There will be no need to struggle with heavy suitcases, strollers or laptops - all this while controlling the children.
Walking can be considered a pleasant option, but not during the Finnish winter! You will notice that using a heated taxi will be much better. This is especially true if you arrive at Helsinki Airport, which is about 20 km from the city center. Why wait for an airport shuttle, putting yourself in rows with other dozens of travellers, who are also eager to escape from the cold, when at the arrivals it is possible to meet a driver who has a sign with your name on it?
