Quick ride by bicycle from Vantaa to Helsinki

This is a great city ride taking you from Vantaa to the heart of Helsinki, about 18 km south. You’ll start in Vantaa, a modern city known for its green spaces and the home of Helsinki's main airport. From there, most of your route follows well-maintained cycleways (so, expect smooth asphalt under your wheels nearly the whole way), making it perfect for a relaxed commute or a sightseeing spin.

The riding is mostly gentle—there’s only around 80 meters of climbing spread out along the trip, so no big hills to worry about. You'll pass through leafy suburbs and some tranquil parkland before rolling into the lively center of Helsinki. The city is famous for its seaside vibes, striking architecture, and bustling market squares—definitely worth arriving hungry and with time to explore!

All in all, it’s a scenic, straightforward ride—safe, mostly traffic-free, and ideal for enjoying Greater Helsinki on two wheels.
