Getting Around
Buy your local transport ticket from R-kioski on Viides linja.
Trams 1/1A, 3 and 9. Tram no. 3 is great for sightseeing southern Helsinki, take it towards south (endstation: Eteläsatama). It's a circle line that switches its number to 2 when you pass Eteläsatama, but if you take the whole ride, you will eventually find yourself in Karhupuisto again.
