Getting There
-
Public Transport
From Espoo, start by heading to the nearest train station, either Espoo Station or Leppävaara Station. Take the train towards Helsinki. If you are at Espoo Station, board a train heading to Helsinki via the Ring Rail Line (R). If you're at Leppävaara Station, board a train to Helsinki. The journey takes about 20-30 minutes. Once you arrive at Helsinki Central Station, exit the station and walk towards the Kamppi Shopping Center, which is clearly marked. From the Kamppi Shopping Center, take the escalators down to the Narinkka Square. Happy Guide Helsinki is located at Narinkka 3, which is right by the square.
-
Bus
If you prefer to take a bus, find the nearest bus stop in Espoo. Look for buses heading to Helsinki. The most direct routes might include Bus 150 from Espoon keskus or Bus 195 from Leppävaara. After approximately 30-40 minutes of travel, you will arrive at the Kamppi bus terminal in Helsinki. From the terminal, follow the signs to Narinkka Square. Happy Guide Helsinki is located at Narinkka 3, just a short walk from the bus terminal.
-
Walking
If you are staying in central Espoo, you can enjoy a lovely walk to the nearest train station, then take the train as mentioned above. Alternatively, if you are near the shoreline, you can walk towards the Helsinki waterfront and enjoy the beautiful views, but this will take significantly longer. You will still need to find your way to a train station to reach Helsinki.
