HSL’s day ticket is the best option for visitors

Day tickets are ideal for occasional users of public transport who make several journeys during one or more days. The tickets are sold at various places.

"Similar tickets are available in big cities around the world so people know to ask for them in Helsinki, too," says Eija Jalo, HSL’s Head of Customer Services.

Typical users of day tickets are visitors who want to see the sights of Helsinki. The ticket is popular also with people visiting festivals and other events and school groups.

You can purchase a day ticket for 1 to 7 days. The ticket allows unlimited travel on all modes of transport – buses, trams, the Metro, commuter trains and the ferry to Suomenlinna.

You can choose the area for which you need a ticket: there are one-zone tickets, e.g. for Helsinki, as well as regional and extended regional tickets.

A Helsinki internal one-day ticket for adults costs EUR 7, a regional ticket EUR 12. Children travel at half the adult fare.

Easy to get, easy to use

"The day ticket sales network has been steadily expanding, nowadays also large department stores sell day tickets," says Eija Jalo. The tickets are sold, for example, at the metropolitan area K-Citymarkets, Prisma stores and R-kiosks as well as the Helsinki City Tourist Office and HSL’s service points.

The ticket is easy to use: you simply need to show it to a card reader without pressing any of the buttons. The ticket is valid from the first use.

One-day tickets can be purchased also from bus and tram drivers. Helsinki internal and regional day tickets are available also from ticket machines. When you purchase a ticket from a ticket machine or driver, remember that the ticket is valid from the moment of purchase.
