Central Helsinki is easily explored by foot or by bike and the public transportation system in the city is one of the best in the world. Helsinki’s Journey Planner website is heavily recommended and completely free of charge.
All public transportation around Greater Helsinki Metropolitan Region is co-ordinated by HSL. With a regional ticket (available from time ranges from 24 hours up to two full years), you will be able to use bus, tram, metro, local trains and Suomenlinna ferry as much as want – just remember to show your ticket to the driver or ticket inspectors whenever asked.
Taxis in Finland are rather expensive, but the drivers are professionals and the taxi system in Helsinki is heavily regulated. That assures an almost total lack of scam taxis and maximum safety.
