Public transport For traveling between your hotel and THL in Helsinki we recommend public transport. The hotels are located 1.5–3 km from THL, which can be easily accessed via tram (line 10 along Mannerheimintie to Pikku-Huopalahti). More information on how to get to THL The map below shows the hotels (Scandic Meilahti in section B2 and Scandic Park Helsinki in section C3; Crowne Plaza is located right next to Scandic Park Helsinki).
