Transportation

The Jyväskylä Region can be reached easily by road, rail and air. Jyväskylä forms a crossroads for Finland's main highways, which has helped it become an increasingly important centre for road transport.

There are daily flights from the capital city Helsinki to Jyväskylä. Using the Pendolino fast train, the journey from Helsinki to Jyväskylä can be accomplished in three hours. The train connections are excellent; there are approximately 18 daily connections between Helsinki and Jyväskylä. There is also a simple connection by bus just in front of the Helsinki-Vantaa airport terminal to Jyväskylä. This connection may require a change of bus.

Finland can be reached also by superior-standard ferries from Germany, Sweden and Estonia. The ferries arrive either in Helsinki or Turku, from where there are good connections to Jyväskylä by train.

The Travel Centre rail/coach interchange is located right in the town centre, close to hotels.

Jyväskylä enjoys good transport connections with the rest of Finland and in particular cities close by such as Tampere, Lahti, and Kuopio, which offer a number of interesting cluster tour venues. Jyväskylä is also convenient for trips to Finland's neighbours, Sweden, Estonia and Russia.
