Getting Around

Helsinki has introduced citybikes. Several statios around the city. You must register to use them. They are meant for short rides (30 minutes). One day 5€, one week 10€, whole season 25€. Extra charge if you don't return the bike in 30 minutes. 5 hours maximum (or you will be fined for extending the time) But you can make as many 30 minutes rides as you want. Just put the bike in the station, wait a few minutes and continue. More info: https://www.hsl.fi/en/citybikes al the stations and bikes : https://kaupunkifillarit.fi/
