Vantaa Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

A non traditional airport

If you find yourself connecting through Helsinki airport, you're in a for a treat. The airport is home to Finnair, but countless other carriers also serve it. The Schengen area is more of the traditional styled airports however the non Schengen side is the real gem. Usually airports are dull and you can't wait to get out of them. However, Helsinki airport was a joy to be in, even for 5 hours. First, the airport is spacious, modern and clean. Second, there are countless amenities catered to different tastes. For instance, there are different chairs: from rocking chairs to flat bed like seats. There is also drinking water available throughout the terminal. One of my favorites, however are the giant screens that show different scenes and sounds from Finland's nature. This coupled with outside the normal rush hours offers a very calm and quiet stay at this airport. All in all, a smooth and calming experience; something that airports are not always known for. #airport #helsinki

The gap in the airport transit is the time to eat, eat and buy. Uncompromising food can also find high-quality Nordic cuisine here, such as this FLY INN at Gate Helsinki Airport No. 27.

Cozy and modern hotel near HEL

The Clarion hotel is a lovely hotel that's only a 5 mins taxi ride, 5 mins train ride or 20 min walk from Helsinki airport. The hotel is hip and modern and the rooms are cozy and many feature great views. It's very quiet around the area so dining options are limited. However the hotel also boasts a nice gym, and a comfortable sauna. Breakfast is also included and it is in a buffet style with many options to choose from. Overall a great choice for being close to the airport or even to get to town as the train is very practical and frequent and the hotel is right above the train station. #hotel #travel #finland #helsinki #explore

Clarion Hotel Aviapolis

#freehotelstay The room facilities are simple and elegant, and the cups are made of marimekko, which is very Finnish. The public trash can is brabantia's, amazing.The service is also very good, providing necessary information and assistance! The breakfast was simply amazing, offering a wide variety of delicious options to kickstart the day. The comfortable rooms provided the perfect retreat after a long day of exploring. The hotel staff was exceptionally polite and attentive, making me feel welcome and valued throughout my stay. I truly appreciated their warm hospitality. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a delightful and relaxing experience.

A very convenient stay at HEL

Many of us have long layovers in Helsinki or you might even need to wait a night before your plane the next morning. If that's the case, the Glo hotel in the airport is a convenient albeit pricey option to consider. The rooms are cozy and spacious enough for 2 people and it is a proper room so you can get some good rest. You'll also not have to venture outside at all which is a definite plus especially in winter time. Amenities are also quite inclusive so you'll have everything you need. The beds are also quite comfortable and unique as they're adjustable into different positions. Overall, a great option if you're looking for convenience especially if you're really tired after/in between flights at Helsinki! #helsinki #finland #airport #travel

Hilton Helsinki Airport

#freehotelstay Excellent airport hotel with clean rooms and great service. In the world of airport hotels, and Hilton ones for that matter, this has been one of the nicest i have stayed yet. I had an efficient check-in with excellent member recognition and a quick introduction to the hotel. My room was clean, spacious and quite beautiful with light colored interior, high quality appliances, a extremely large bed and a well thought out layout. The small integrated side table next to the bed is one design detail of many that give this room an overall sense if quality. The facilities like sauna, gym and executive lounge are all very good and enough for an airport hotel. Breakfast is also good with one of the beat selections for people with food allergies that i have ever encountered. Staff is also an absolute joy- that can make a real difference in your morning routine. Overall impressive hotel that i would love to come back to.
