GETTING THERE

Helsinki-Vantaa Airport

Around 120 international flights a day arrive at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, which is situated 19 kilometres from the centre of Helsinki and can be reached by car in approximately 25 minutes. You can also take the Finnair airport bus (5,20 €), or Bus 615 (3,60 €) to the Central Railway Station (see the map below). A taxi to the Central Railway Station costs approximately 30-40 €.

From the Central Railway Station, there is walking distance to Hotel Arthur, Hotel Cumulus Kaisaniemi, and Sokos Hotel Presidentti. The distance to Hostel Academica is 1.2 km, thus Marie Curie delegates can take bus 55A to “Marian sairaala”, bus number 18 to “Hietaniemenkatu”, the metro to “Kamppi”, or tram 3T to “Kauppakorkeakoulut”.

IN HELSINKI

Please note that, contrary to previous information, bus transportation has been arranged to drive all congress delegates from the City Centre to the Viikki Campus and back on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The bus time schedules can be found below. Please note that Finns are punctual: 09:05 means the bus leaves at 09:05, no earlier, no later, so, please, find your way to the bus on time.

SPECIAL INFORMATION FOR MARIE CURIE DELEGATES

As the Hostel Academica will not provide any breakfast, a special breakfast has been organised for Marie Curie delegates in the Unicafe Viikki Biocentre on Tue-Thu mornings. Breakfast coupons will be provided for Marie Curie delegates for all three days in the congress bag.
