Nuuksio – Spectacular wilderness area right next to Helsinki
Nuuksio is in many ways one of Finland’s most important nature sites.
Nuuksio national park is very close to Helsinki, but its atmosphere is really far from the bustle of the city. It is easy to get there by bus and there are plenty of fire places and marked trails in the area. In the forests and gorges of Nuuksio lake highlands you can’t get enough of nature. People have been in Nuuksio for thousands of years as the ancient rock paintings, like the one shaped like an elk, by the lake Pitkäjärvi let us understand.
Just a half-hour drive from Helsinki, and you’re at the gates of a magnificent lake wilderness.
Finnish Nature Center Haltia is one of the two headquarters of Finland, Naturally Experiences, with the other being Nature Center Ukko in Eastern Finland, located in Koli.
At Haltia, you’ll find an equipment rental service, diverse hiking and recreational services, intriguing nature exhibitions, and the best tips for exploring Nuuksio National Park and the great outdoors across Finland. Ask us about getting a guided tour in Nuuksio’s natural surroundings!

ARRIVAL AND STAY IN NUUKSIO
It is easy to get to Nuuksio by public transport
Different parts of Nuuksio national park are easy to reach from Helsinki. First, take a train S, U, L or E to get to Espoo.
- If you want to visit the eastern or northern parts of Nuuksio national park, take the bus 245(A) from Espoo Centre. In the winter, the bus will take you to a place called Nuuksionpää. In the summer you’ll get a bit further, to Kattila. Both of these places are located in the national park area and are good places to start your hike in Nuuksio. This bus will also take you to the Finnish Nature Centre Haltia.
- If you wish to see the southern part of Nuuksio, first take a train from Helsinki to Leppävaara in Espoo. Then take the bus 238 from Leppävaara to Siikaranta or Siikaniemi in Nuuksio.
- To get to the western side of Nuuksio you can simply take a coach from Kamppi bus station in Helsinki. This coach will take you to Tervalampi, from where you need to walk about 2 kilometers to get to the national park. Find your bus here.
Book a cozy cattage
A successful day trip starts casually from the door of a cabin, and after the memorable day in the nature the next best thing is to have a comfy bed and catch up with the fellow hikers. Check out Nuuksio’s cozy cottage options, where you can comfortably have a bigger party.
