Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving from another location in Uusimaa, head towards Helsinki by following the E18 highway. Continue on E18 until you reach the city center. Once you enter Helsinki, follow signs for 'Keskusta' (City Center). As you approach the center, take the exit towards 'Kampin keskus' and follow the road signs pointing to 'Unioninkatu'. The Helsinki Cathedral is located at Unioninkatu 29, 00170 Helsinki. Parking is available in nearby garages, such as the Q-Park Unioninkatu, which may incur hourly charges.

• Public Transportation - Train

  From various locations in Uusimaa, take a train to Helsinki Central Station (Helsingin päärautatieasema). Once you arrive at the station, exit and walk towards the large square in front of the station. From there, you can either walk approximately 1 kilometer towards the east along Kaivokatu, then turn left onto Unioninkatu, where you will find Helsinki Cathedral at Unioninkatu 29. Alternatively, you can take tram line 3 or 7 from the station towards the direction of 'Helsinki Cathedral', which will drop you off a short walk from the cathedral.

• Public Transportation - Bus

  If you prefer to travel by bus, check for buses heading to 'Helsinki City Center' from various Uusimaa locations. Once you reach the central bus station ('Helsingin linja-autoasema'), exit and follow signs to the tram stop. Take tram line 3 or 7 towards 'Helsinki Cathedral'. If you prefer to walk, it's about a 15-20 minute stroll from the bus station; head east on Mannerheimintie, then south on Unioninkatu to arrive at the cathedral.
