How to get in Haparanda
Haparanda has no airport of its own, the nearest one being in Kemi (24km) on the Finnish side, from where Finncomm Airlines runs scheduled flights to Helsinki. Haparanda is a 20-minute drive away.
Express coaches from Sweden are handled by Länstrafiken Norrbotten , there are daily connections to cities as Kiruna, Luleå and Umeå while some buses continue all the way to Stockholm. To Finland, frequent bus connections with Matkahuolto connects Haparanda to Tornio and Kemi, but some lines extend even to bus station in Oulu. Beware that all buses going to Finland depart according to local Finnish time, which is one hour ahead of time in Haparanda.
Arriving by car is easy since Haparanda is on the E4 with roads in good shape. It is a border town so there is a fair share of heavy duty traffic coming through.
Altough Haparanda boasts a train station, there is no passenger service. Tornio across the river has a daily train coming from Helsinki but otherwise your best bet is Kemi with quite frequent connections from all parts of Finland. Two daily Swedish night trains, one from Stockholm and one from Gothenburg terminate in Luleå with a connecting express bus to Haparanda waiting.
