This is probably the nicest airport I've been to so far in Europe, or anywhere for that matter!…read moreThey have tons of shops, restaurants, cafes, and bars and most of it is super affordable too! Lots of restaurants and fast food spots here offer great deals, especially when compared to airports in the U.S.! Also loved that the car rental and train facilities are directly connected to the airport, making it super easy to travel to/from! Security and Border Control are a breeze here too! Not a hassle like some other places, making it stress-free coming here!

Visited Helsinki Airport for the first time in May. I was impressed with how spacious, clean and…read morebright it was. Signs are in English first, Finnish and Swedish (the main languages of Finland) second and third. I also visited the airport via train as I was in the city and needed to pick up our rental car on a different day than I flew into Finland. It was incredibly easy to navigate the train and then get upstairs to the station that connects to the rental car area, shops and security lines for the airport. There are lots of neat shops that sell Finnish products - like reindeer pelts! Food is fairly affordable (especially compared to the airports in the USA.) I liked that they had a little exhibit explaining Finnish homes in the non-Schengen terminal. Customs / border patrol was a breeze and their English was flawless so if you don't speak Finnish or Swedish, you'll be just fine getting through the airport. Visited: May 2026
