Rail travel is the most practical choice for this route as the train station in Hameenlinna is centrally located and trains arrive directly at Helsinki Central. Buses are available but generally take longer due to traffic. Flying is not a viable option for this short distance as there are no domestic flights between these two cities; the train provides a much lower carbon footprint and faster door-to-door transit.
