Helsinki - Getting There By Rail
Rail services: Three main lines arrive from Turku in the west, Tampere in the north and Lahti in the northeast, through which trains from St Petersburg and Moscow pass. There are daily direct train services to and from Russia. The Finnish train, Sibelius, to St Petersburg (journey time - 6.5 hours) departs Helsinki in the morning, while the Russian afternoon train, Repin, to the same city, leaves Helsinki in the afternoon. Tolstoi, the Russian-operated night train to Moscow (journey time - 15 hours), departs in the early evening. It is possible for travellers to continue on to Berlin on the Repin.
