Finland by bus


Finland by bus

Buses are the cheapest but also the slowest and least comfortable way of traveling between Russia and Finland.
  • Regular scheduled buses run between St. Petersburg, Vyborg and major southern Finnish towns like Helsinki, Lappeenranta, Jyväskylä and all the way west to Turku, check Matkahuolto for schedules. Helsinki-St. Petersburg is served three times daily, costs ?38 and takes 9 hours during the day, 8 hours at night.
  • Various direct minibuses run between St. Petersburg's Oktyabrskaya Hotel (opp Moskovsky train station) and Helsinki's Tennispalatsi (Eteläinen Rautatiekatu 8, one block away from Kamppi). At €15 one-way, this is the cheapest option, but the minibuses leave only when full. Departures from Helsinki are most frequent in the morning (around 10 AM), while departures from St. Petersburg usually overnight (around 10 PM).
  • You can also use a bus from Sweden or Norway to Finland.
  • Haparanda in Norrbotnia area of Sweden has bus connections to Tornio, Kemi and Oulu. See more from .
