The best way to get to Lahti is via train or coach from Helsinki or Turku. Coaches may be cheaper nowadays since the train ticket prices have soared massively during the past few years. A coach or a train from Helsinki takes about 1 hour 45 minutes to reach Lahti, which is nice.
Lahti is a town in the middle of one of the biggest hill ranges in Finland, so be prepared to climb up many hills while visiting--walking or cycling can be tiring. The buses aren't cheap either. Thankfully Lahti is a small place so you can get around quite easily without a car. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

 Or then go along HERE ;) by sabsi
The city centre is rather small and not very spectacular, it consists basically of the main square and the area around Aleksanterinkatu - that's it.
Park your car at the Urheilukeskus (when there's no competition on it's free to park here) and walk the 10 mts into town. In town you have to pay for parking. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
