Get your bearings in your new home city of Helsinki

During your first few months in the city, maps can be a big help in finding your way around. They can also help you find the locations of the city’s wide range of services.

Service Map

Helsinki’s Service Map helps you to find municipal services and facilities in the city. Simply click on the Service Map name in the lower left corner and the map will open in a new tab. Search for health stations and dental clinics, daycare centres, libraries, and sports facilities near your home by entering a keyword, address or postal code in the search field. Click on the map icons to find more details about a location, such as contact information, opening hours and accessibility information.

Helsinki Map Service

The Helsinki Map Service is an interactive platform with many layers of maps. Use the menu to choose the layers you wish to see. For example, you can first choose the Background Map and then a layer, such as Streets and Parks>Parking places. This will show you the locations of free short-term and long-term parking in the city.

Explore the Helsinki Map Service to find even more information on things like disabled parkingelectric car charging stations and main cycling routes.
