Travelling to and from Tuska by Metro

On the nights of Friday 28 and Saturday 29 June, the Metro will operate for two hours longer than usual between Helsinki city center, Kalasatama and Vuosaari in Eastern Helsinki.

Since the Tuska festival area Suvilahti is located right next to Kalasatama Metro Station, the Metro is an easy choice for travelling to the festival and back to downtown Helsinki. The metro station also has a direct access to the wristband exchange point in the shopping center REDI. Use the HSL Journey Planner to find the best route for your journey (CLICK HERE)
