Uusimaa

如何抵達

If you are arriving in Finland by air or sea you will likely arrive in Helsinki, where the largest airport and several major harbors are located. Nearly all passenger airports in Finland have a flight to Helsinki Airport (for many of them it is the only destination), Helsinki is one of Europe's busiest passenger port cities, and most longer train lines of Finland end there. Direct buses connect it with all larger cities in the country, and to get there from the smaller ones you would usually have to transfer just once. For other destinations in Uusimaa trains and buses usually stop on their way to Helsinki in cities along the route; it is for instance possible to get off in Porvoo if you're coming from east or in Järvenpää if you're coming from north – otherwise you often need to transfer in Helsinki. There are railways into the region, see Get around below. A few European roads lead to Helsinki: E12 leads from Norway's coast through Vaasa (following the Blue Highway at that leg); E18 comes in from Stockholm in the west and from Saint Petersburg in the east; E67 (Via Baltica) ends in Tallinn, with several car ferries to Helsinki; E75 comes in from northern Norway and continues south-west by a non-existent ferry connection. National roads 1–7 lead to Helsinki: Highway 1 from Turku (E18), Highway 2 from Pori, Highway 3 from Vaasa (E12), Highway 4 from the north via Tampere (E75), Highway 5 from the north via Mikkeli, Highway 6 from the north-east via Kouvola, and Highway 7 from the east via Kotka (E18). The EuroVelo tour cycling route EV 10 (Baltic Sea Route/Hansa Circuit) leads more or less along the coast from east to west, along cycleways or smaller roads. From the Russian border to Turku it is developed and marked, but not yet certified.

當地交通

Again, Helsinki is the hub of the region and there is generally no form of public transportation bypassing the city. Trains of VR and regional trains (by VR or operated by VR on behalf of the metropolitan cities) extend to most of the region, serving Kerava, Järvenpää, Mäntsälä and Hyvinkää in the north and Espoo, Kauniainen, Kirkkonummi, Siuntio, Raseborg and Hanko in the west. The railway line to the west is being improved in the mid-2020s and the leg between Kirkkonummi and Helsinki is closed for some weeks in the summer, with substituting VR buses for that leg and perhaps some Riihimäki–Hanko trains. Check details. There is a dense bus network covering most of the province. There are at least a couple of buses a day from Helsinki to every town and municipal centre. Timetables and tickets can be got from Matkahuolto, for HSL lines from HSL, and from the individual companies. Google Maps includes timetables of trains, long-distance buses and local transport of many cities and towns. Other useful route planners are Opas.matka.fi for trains and local buses and Matkahuolto Reittiopas for regional buses. The national roads 1–7 ray out from Helsinki through Uusimaa, with national road 1 going westward to Turku and national road 7 eastward towards Vyborg and Saint Petersburg. There are motorways near Helsinki, some all the way. Some towns are served by minor highways, such as by road 51 going westward along the coast. Boating and kayaking in the coastal archipelago is popular. There are a few coastal cruise lines, such as from Helsinki to Porvoo and the lighthouse island Söderskär, from Ekenäs to the Ekenäs Archipelago National Park, from Hanko to the lighthouse island Bengtskär and from most coastal municipalities to islands in the archipelago off their coast.

Recreation areas Uusimaa coast is relatively densely populated and large areas along the shore are privately owned, so sometimes visitors can struggle to find a place for recreational use. However, both the municipalities and some private foundations have recreational areas for public use. The Association of recreation areas (sv: Föreningen Nylands friluftsområden, fi:Uudenmaan virkistysalueyhdistys) buys and leases scenic areas that are suitable for outdoor and recreational use in the Uusimaa region. These areas are often located at the coast, sometimes on islands, and are free to use for camping, BBQing, canoeing, mushroom and berry picking, swimming and other activi
