Tampere by train
VR offers train services from different parts of Finland to Tampere. The Tampere train station, recently renovated to its former subtle Functionalistic glory is located right at the city center, at the east end of the main street Hämeenkatu. Most hotels are within walking distance of the station.
Tampere has extensive train links, with lines to Helsinki, Turku, up north to Lapland, east towards Jyväskylä and west to Pori. The trip to/from Helsinki by Pendolino express takes 1:30 and costs ?33.90, while a local train will take just over 2 hours for the same trip and charge ?22.50. On weekdays, trains to Helsinki run at least about once every hour between early morning and late evening. On weekends, there may be a gap of up to 2 hours between trains. For Finnish students (ISIC not accepted) and children (6-17 years) all train tickets are half price.
From Helsinki's airport, the fastest way to Tampere is to take a bus or taxi to Tikkurila station and board long-distance trains there. The station ticket office is closed at night, but tickets can be purchased from machines (Finnish credit cards only) or onboard the train.
