TRAVELLING

Train:
www.vr.fi
Sometimes there are good discounts available. Anyway there is always student discount. But I recommend checking out ticket prices early! Train takes about 8-9 hours.

Flying:
Flying is easiest and often cheapest. Finnair and Norwegian Air are flying to Rovaniemi. Tickets can be cheap (about 30€) or more expensive or sometimes super expensive. Right now when I check it would be 34€ for one direction. That is cheaper than taking the train. Flight takes about an hour.

Bus:
www.onnibus.com
You can also be wild and take a bus. There is a company called Onnibus, where the rides are cheap. Busses to Rovaniemi only go on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. So actually you would miss the project meeting if you take the bus. So don’t do that, but maybe you want to return to Helsinki by bus… You’ll get back on Monday. The bus journey takes about 12 hours. One way ticket can be as cheap as 20€. Good sightseeing!

ACCOMMODATION
All participants coming from outside Rovaniemi will be offered accommodation either at a common accommodation space, or at a local participants’ couch.
