Getting There

Taxi: Taxi from Helsinki city centre to Hanasaari takes about 10 min/20 €; from the airport about 40 min/45 €. Please note that there is a risk of confusion, since there is a power station in East Helsinki called Hanasaari, so be sure to ask the driver to take you to Hanasaari Cultural Centre in Espoo.

Metro: the nearest metro station ”Koivusaari” is at a walking distance (1,1 km) from Hanasaari. The next metro station towards Helsinki city centre “Lauttasaari” has a bus connection to Hanasaari (see below). Metro from Helsinki city centre to Hanasaari takes about 30 min/5 €.

Buses: bus 192 (V, T and K lines) operates between Hanasaari and Helsinki city centre, bus 104 operates between “Lauttasaari” metro station and Hanasaari. The bus stop is located 400 m from the conference site, along the main road. Bus from the city centre to Hanasaari takes about 20-25 min/5 €.

City bike: You can ride a city bike to Hanasaari until October 31st 2018. The city bike station in Hanasaari is located close to the main road. Biking from the city centre to Hanasaari takes about 35 min and costs 5 €/day or 10 €/week.

For further details of public transport please check the see the Helsinki Region Transport (HSL) website or install a free mobile application HSL Mobile ticket app to make it simple. With the HSL app you can plan your route and purchase tickets.
