 One of the trams by Henrik_rrb
Then you'll have to sit and be nervous for controllers during the whole trip, but you still earned two euros.
Don't know why I did that all the time, I blame my now ex-girlfriend for that... But at least I never got caught.
Taxi is also a good way to go, specially in the night when you want to get home fast. I didn't find the prices that high, cheaper than in Sweden, but it was quite hard to find a taxi, even when we did leave the nightclubs quite early. We had to stay in the line with 50-60 persons ahead of us, and it took quite long time.
With the trams, make sure you take the right one. There are numbers on them, but also letters. Which means that tram number 7A isn't the same one as number 7BK Leave a Comment

 Metro @ Railway station
Helsinki, Finland by sinoda
There only very few (but good) reasons why one esp. a tourist is likely to use it.
For translocating yourself within the heart of Helsinki you 'd probably be better of taking the tram or bus.
If on the other hand you are seeking to reach the far east side of Helsinki or during traffic jam time then you absolutely want to take the metro.
The subway system consist of one and a half line ; ) yes you read right. From the south-west end in Rouholahti there is only on line towards the til Itäkeskus (East-Centre) where the line is plit up - one ging north to Mellunmäki and the aother even more east to Vuosaari.
So you don't have to be afraid to get lost in Helsinki riding the tube....
The same tickets are valid on the tube as in buses, trams and trains within Helsinki city. Leave a Comment

The public transportation system in Helsinki works really well. It includes buses, trams and the subway. Usually when you buy a ticket, it is valid in all of these. So wherever in Helsinki you want to go, one (if not many) of these will take you there, quickly! It is also very easy to get to Espoo and Vantaa (other big cities near Helsinki) by bus, and maybe in the future also by subway. The strikes are very seldom here, so unlike in Mediterranean countries, you don't have to worry about that kind of things in Helsinki!
Another easy way to see the city is to rent a City Bike so that you put a 2 euro coin into it and get it back when you return the bike. It's a nice way to get a closer view to citylife! Leave a Comment

 going home by sinoda
The last buses leave Rautatientori (the large square between main rail way station, the National Theatre and the Ateneum) for the out-skirts about 1a.m., which I think is rather good.
These buses serve the all the suburb of the city.
There are night buses too. 8 lines each with approx. 4 departures between 2 and 5 a.m.
One last word! Especially on weekend nights you will encounter the darker sides of our society on these buses. Alcohol abuse will eventually lead to disturbances (harrasement, shouting, obscenity...) and may have effect on your nerves, as if this happens too often you be filled with disgust... so just be prepared and please don't provoke these certain individuals by looking straight into their eyes.
