Central Finland - easy to reach!
Central Finland, as the name suggests, lies at the very heart of Finland, within reasonable distance of all parts of the country. Its central location makes it easy to reach from just about anywhere in Finland, which makes the region a good meeting point and venue for various events.
The international Jyväskylä airport is located just 20 minutes from the city centre, and offers a fast air connection for the whole of Central Finland. Coming here by air?
It is easy to come here by train. The rail connections are frequent and fast, and the new Travel Centre brings trains into the heart of the city. Railways link Jyväskylä and Central Finland to all parts of the country, the journey from Helsinki taking about 3 hours. Coming here by train?
Bus is another convenient option for travelling here as well as for exploring Central Finland in more depth. From the Travel Center, you can take a bus to locations near and far. Coming here by bus?
Many of our visitors come here by car. The City of Jyväskylä stands at the crossroads of numerous highways and main roads which makes connections from elsewhere in Finland quick and easy. The distance between the capital Helsinki and Jyväskylä, for example, is approximately 270 km. Car hire in the region is easily arranged, and by car you can enjoy the best scenery of the Finnish lake district. Coming here by car?
