Overall rating

Essential to move around the city and visit some places. Next, I'll take the Helsinki Card Region, which takes you from Vantaa airport to downtown Helsinki.

It a really good card you can use it in a lot of museums, public transport is free which is great if you want to travel to locations that are to far to walk.

I recommend buying the pass. We bought the one lasting 3 days. YES you can take all means, access museums, cathedrals and much more.

Very useful, especially for transport which is almost all free and you have access to many interesting activities.

Nice and easy to use with exclusion for central station to airport
