Train Tickets
This station is located in Zone A. As far as we’ve been able to see, the basic ticket costs €3.10, as there is no single-zone ticket. And therefore you need to buy an AB ticket, even if you’re only moving within Zone A, for example to Helsinki Central Station. On the other hand, if you’re going to the airport, you need to buy an ABC ticket because the airport is in Zone C, and its price is €4.10 for a single ticket.
You can buy your ticket from the HSL station machines. However, you can also buy the ticket from the HSL app or website, once you’re registered. You can see the link below so you don’t have to search for it yourself. And if you have doubts about prices, you can always look below at all the information we’ve included.

Luggage Storage
This station does not have luggage storage. Although we wish there were more storage lockers for suitcases or other luggage, the reality is that this option is only available at a few major long-distance train stations. And so in this case, we’re not lucky enough to have this option.
