Welcome to Helsinki, a coastal capital where cutting-edge design meets historic saunas. Whether you're exploring the fortress islands or grabbing coffee by the harbor, staying connected is a breeze. Grab a JamboSim eSIM and share your Nordic adventure instantly. 🇫🇮
Helsinki Airport (HEL) is well connected to the city center by train. The I and P trains run frequently and take about 30 minutes to reach Helsinki Central Station. A single ticket costs €4.10 and can be bought via the HSL app or at the station machines. Taxis are also available outside the terminal, costing roughly €45 to €50 for the 30-minute drive to downtown.
Helsinki’s public transport network is phenomenal. Trams, buses, the metro, and even the ferry to Suomenlinna are all operated by HSL. Buy a day pass on the HSL app to save money if you plan to hop around. For shorter distances, city bikes and electric scooters from Tier or Voi are everywhere in the summer. The city center is also incredibly walkable, especially around the Design District.
Finland is a highly connected country, and you'll find free public Wi-Fi in libraries, cafes, and city squares. However, relying on public networks means dealing with spotty connections and security risks when you step outside. With a JamboSim eSIM, you have your own secure data everywhere you go. It's much easier for mapping tram routes or translating menus without hunting for the nearest hotspot.
Finns love their coffee and their saunas, so be sure to try both. When visiting a public sauna, remember to shower before entering and check the swimsuit rules, as some are au naturel. The currency is the Euro, but Finland is almost entirely cashless, so bring a card with no foreign transaction fees. Tipping isn't strictly necessary, as service is usually included.
