Southern Finland Transportation

Liquor and Cigarettes, along with countless other things, are Tax free in neighboring Tallinn, Estonia. This leads people from Helsinki to make day trips here to stock up 'supplies'. The ferry ride is a comfortable 2 1/2 hours between Helsinki and Tallinn, and it gets you those cool stamps in your passport. How many of you're friends can say, "Oh, and this is the stamp from when we went to Estonia". So if your in either Tallinn or Helsinki, there absolutely NO excuse to not visit the other.

Go there by boat, it´s a wonderful view when entering the city

Take a bus number 109 from Helsinki. Or just call 112 and take the ambulanssi.

The most well known attraction in Imatra are the Imatrankoski rapids. The rapids are near the center of the town and it's a good place to have a little walk. In the late summer, when the sun goes down earlier in the evening, there is a light and music show at the rapids every night. It's quite a beautiful sight :). Imatra is a peacefull small town and there's also a lot of wilderness to see. You can also rent a cabin for example from here . The easiest way to get to Imatra and generally travel around in Finland is train .

A bike is the best way to get a round in Helsinki. There are a lot of paths and roads for bikers, and you get away from the rush hour! espesially nice is the areas by the sea and in the central park.
