British Airways flights to Helsinki arrive at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, nine miles north of the city centre. After your flight, take the express bus into central Helsinki, then stretch your legs by exploring Helsinki's elegant streets. Winter or summer, you'll soon realise your flight was worthwhile - Helsinki's busy harbourside, bustling shops and intriguing museums offer a great choice for the visitor.
When your Helsinki flight arrives, hop on the Finnair City Bus for a direct trip to central Helsinki hotels. You can usually get into central Helsinki within 30 minutes of your flight landing. Helsinki city bus services are a slower but cheaper option for reaching the centre from Helsinki airport. Another transport choice after your flight is a taxi from outside Flight Arrivals.
After your flight to Helsinki, make the most of the Finnish capital's elegant architecture including sights like Neoclassical Senate Square and the bright white Helsinki Cathedral. Visit Helsinki's Kiasma modern art gallery or the impressive weaponry collection in Helsinki's National Museum. Stroll through Sibelius Park, where an iconic monument pays homage to the Helsinki-born composer, or relax on the shore of Töölönlahti lake by Helsinki's Finlandia Hall venue. Re-energise in Helsinki's restaurants and try speciality reindeer or herring dishes. Before your flight home from Helsinki, pack your suitcase with crafts from the Design District Helsinki, cute Moomin souvenirs, depicting children's characters created by Finn author Tove Janssen, or fashion from smart shops along Helsinki's Esplanadi Boulevard.
