All the other vol­un­teers will re­ceive a travel card only for Hel­sinki, re­gard­less of their place of res­i­dence.

Vol­un­teers will re­ceive their travel card and vol­un­teer pass at the same time. The travel card will be valid from 11th – 19th of July. More in­for­ma­tion about routes and trans­porta­tion within the met­ro­pol­i­tan area here.

Walk­ing routes will be marked to guide ev­ery­one from one place to an­other, these may be found all the way from the Olympic Sta­dium and Get to­gether area, the city cen­tre, to Mes­sukeskus Ex­hi­bi­tion and Con­ven­tion Cen­tre and to Ara­bi­an­ranta.

Dur­ing the event, vol­un­teers are ad­vised to al­ways use pub­lic trans­porta­tion, since park­ing space for cars is very lim­ited.
