Helsinki Olympic Stadium: A Historic Sporting Icon

Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving from any location in the Helsinki Archipelago, head towards the mainland and use the main roads leading into Helsinki. Follow the signs for 'Helsinki' and continue on Route 170 (Länsiväylä) until you reach the city center. Once you arrive in central Helsinki, follow the signs for 'Olympiastadion' or 'Paavo Nurmen tie'. The stadium is located at Paavo Nurmen tie 1, 00250 Helsinki. There is parking available nearby, but be aware that parking fees apply, usually around €2-4 per hour.

• Public Transportation

  From the Helsinki Archipelago, take a ferry to the mainland. Once you arrive at the Market Square (Kauppatori) in Helsinki, you can transfer to public transportation. Take tram line 7 or 9 from the nearby tram stop towards 'Helsinki Olympic Stadium'. If you prefer buses, you can catch bus number 23 from the same area, which will also take you close to the stadium. The total fare for public transport is approximately €2.80 for a single ticket, valid for 80 minutes across all modes of transport.

• Combination of Car and Public Transportation

  If you're driving from the Archipelago but prefer to avoid city traffic, park your car at the nearest ferry terminal (e.g., in Espoo or Vantaa) and take a ferry to Helsinki. Upon arrival at the Market Square, you can easily switch to tram line 7 or 9 or bus number 23 to get to Helsinki Olympic Stadium. Remember that parking fees at ferry terminals will vary, so check their specific rates beforehand.
