Helsinki Site Info

Yesterday hotel bookings for Worldcon opened, and the inevitable panic on social media ensued. Getting a hotel room for Worldcon isn’t, thank goodness, as bad as trying to get a hotel room in San Diego for ComicCon, but it is complicated by the host city being different each year.

Anyway, I do know Helsinki tolerably well, and I have done site reports before now. I figured it would be useful to remind you of them.

First up here’s some video I took of the convention center and city when we were bidding for 2015. Obviously this is a few years old now (it is from 2013), but not much has changed.

There’s also a photo album, taken on the same trip.

One thing that has changed is that there is now a train from the airport that takes you directly into the city center. My report on that (from this year) is here.

One thought on “Helsinki Site Info

  1. My one (absolutely wonderful) visit to Helsinki was by ship, 10 years ago. We found the public transit very easy to navigate. I envy all those about to enjoy this beautiful city.
