Logistic Information
How to find the CSC Office which is located in Keilaniemi, 10 km west of the Helsinki City Center.
Ground Transportation
It is best to take a taxi from the airport to CSC. This will cost about 45 euro and take around 30 minutes
If you have more time (or limited budget), you can also try the airport buses (every 20 min, costs 6,20 eur). The bus will take you to the Helsinki city center (the blue circle on that pdf-map). From there you need to walk 400m to the west to reach the Kamppi Bus Station (green “Kamppi” triangle on the map) inside the Kamppi Shopping Mall. The buses 102, 102T and 103 will take you to Espoo near CSC-building in about 20 minutes. The correct exit stop for you to get of the buss is called “Miestenmetsä” and it is situated just in front of CSC-building. The whole journey should take you 1 - 1½ hours plus possible extra time for getting lost.
Hotels
- The nearest hotel (800m to CSC) is RadissonBlu Espoo Otaniemi
- The second nearest hotel (2km to CSC) is Sokos Hotel Tapiola Garden
Both are decent hotels with basic stuff, nothing too fancy/expensive.
