The highly metropolitan city of Helsinki in Finland does not have its own airport. Technically, the Helsinki Airport is within the boundary of the municipality of Vantaa, which is one of the 12 municipalities (including Finland’s capital city of Helsinki) that compose the Helsinki metropolitan area. Therefore, if you have business in the city center itself, you still need to do some traveling from the airport to wherever it is you are aiming for in the city center.

To get from Helsinki-Vantaa Airport to the city center, you can use any of the car hire services available. Reserve your car hire at Helsinki Airport by approaching the car rental companies’ car hire desks. Europcar, Avis, Hertz, and Budget are some of your options. Of course, you can get reserve your car hire online so that the car you want can be delivered by your car hire to Helsinki Airport; this way, you’ll be able to drive away in your car hire immediately after you land.

Do not forget to buy a map of the metropolitan area and the city of Helsinki at the Helsinki airport. Helsinki has a predominantly ring-road system, and you need to familiarize yourself with it if you don’t want to get lost. This will also come in handy, too, if you want to enjoy the sights in Helsinki; the Kaapelitehdas and the Winter Garden are particularly interesting.
