Sightseeing

Aalto University is located at the Otaniemi campus approx. 3 km from Tapiola. It was established in 2010 as a merger of three major Finnish universities: the Helsinki University of Technology, the Helsinki School of Economics and the University of Art and Design Helsinki. The campus has several interesting buildings planned by the Finnish architect Alvar Aalto. It has developed into a versatile hub for innovation, research and entrepreneurship - worth a visit and easy to get to by metro.

旅行者へのアドバイス

交通アクセス

Try out the hop-on hop-off citybikes!

I warmly recommend the Espoo-Helsinki citybikes, if you want to get around the area by bike. There is a citybike stop 200 m from the place, the rental price is 5 eur/day or 10 e/week (35 e /season) - you get unlimited number of up to 30-minute rides, you can easily do a hop-on hop-off tour all the way to Helsinki, if you wish.
