The platform is located under Terminal 2. The train takes about 4 h 30 min\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are several rental car companies at the airport. For further information, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finavia.fi\/en\/airports\/helsinki-airport?navref=airport-select\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website of Helsinki-Vantaa airport<\/a> Driving time is about 5 hours without stops.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you are arriving to Helsinki by a ferry<\/strong>, you can continue to Joensuu by taking a train from the Central Railway Station in the city centre or by plane from Helsinki-Vantaa airport.

The city centre is few minutes\u2019 walk from the railway station.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taxi\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taxis are private and due to current taxi legislation, there is a lot of variation in services and pricing. Fees (e.g. starting fees and any other additional info) should be seen on the car window, and the price should be negotiated before the drive. It is good to be careful in order to avoid surprises. Therefore, we have added a few reputable regional taxi agencies in case you need a taxi in Helsinki or in Joensuu.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need a taxi in capital area (Helsinki, Vantaa, Espoo), we recommend Taksi Helsinki: +358 (0) 100 0700. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taksihelsinki.fi\/en\/frontpage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Please see their website for pricing<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should you need a taxi in Joensuu, we recommend Taksi It\u00e4-Suomi: 0601 10100 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taksiitasuomi.fi\/taksipalvelut-ja-maksut\/hinnasto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Website is only in Finnish<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Useful links on UEF web pages:&nbsp; Here you can find some travelling information our conference organizers have compiled.
