Before you go
Money
Most establishments accept cards. Cash is rarely needed except at small kiosks. Prices in euros.
Nature
Nuuksio National Park has no mobile signal deep in the forest. Trails are marked but can be muddy in spring and autumn.
Transport
Public buses run from Helsinki to Nummela and Veikkola, but frequency drops sharply on weekends. A rental car offers the most flexibility for visiting multiple sites.
Weather
Finnish winter brings snow and darkness; summer offers midnight sun and mosquitoes. Pack layers and waterproof gear for outdoor activities.
