Trip Planning FAQs
How can I arrange my airport transfer in Helsinki?
The popular ways are the airport express, the Commuter train and the public bus. Taxi is quite expensive.
The airport express takes only 30 minutes, and the tickets can be bought onboard the bus from the driver at the price of €6.9 per ticket. The terminal in the city is the Eliel square, which is just beside the central railway station. From airport to the city center, there are several stops along the way, where the driver can stop on request. Please do tell the driver your destination and he will suggest the nearest stop to you.
The Commuter train is running between airport and the central station. It also takes about half an hour and it is available every 10 or 20 minutes. The tickets can be bought from the vending machine.
The public bus 615 is also workable and it takes about 45 minutes. And all of our Finland tour packages can offer a private airport transfer on request.

What is the best time to take Finland tours?
It depends on what you want to see in Finland. Generally, June to August is the travel high season, when you can experience the long and warm summer and participate in rich activities in Lakeland and Archipelago.
If you like snow and winter activities, then September to mid-April in Lapland is better, where you can take part in the traditional outdoor entertainments and also see the glittering and mysterious northern lights.
When and where to visit the midnight sun?
Lapland is the best place for midnight sun. In Utsjoki, the northernmost tip of Finland, the sun stays on the horizon for more than two months from mid-May to the end of July. In south of Lapland, the sun also stays for a month between June and July. And, you can see the white nights during the most of summer days.
Do I need to bring my own very warm clothes to Lapland in winter?
You can bring your own warm clothes for your common activities. When you take outdoor activities of our Finland tour packages, winter clothing and boots will be provided to you if needed.
