 Flights to
Helsinki-Vantaa airport
There are excellent flight connections to Helsinki. Several
airlines provide
direct flights to Helsinki from all over Europe
as well as from countries
outside Europe. Helsinki-Vantaa Airport has regularly been rated one of the
world’s best airports and is situated only 20 km (30 minutes) from Helsinki
city centre.
Airport transportation
Finnair provides regular bus transportation between Helsinki-Vantaa Airport
and the City Terminal near the railway station at a cost of approximately 6
€. Taxis between the airport and the city centre cost approximately 30
—
40 €.
Group taxis are also available at the airport (Yellow Line and Airport Taxi,

Transportation by sea
An alternative route to Helsinki is by sea. Several cruise ships arrive each
day from Stockholm and Tallinn right into the city centre. The sea voyage
from Stockholm lasts overnight and the route from Tallinn only 1.5 to 3.5
hours. The beautiful seaside panorama to be admired on arrival explains why
Helsinki has been named the Daughter of the Baltic Sea. Letter of invitation

personal letter of invitation so as to enable participants to obtain
supporting funds or visas for attending the congress. These invitation
letters cannot be considered as an offer of financial support by the
