Hitchhiking out

North towards Jyväskylä  12   04  E 75 and North-East towards Mikkeli  12   04  E 75  05 

There are two bus stops on Mannerheiminkatu (road 12) between Vesijärvenkatu/Uudenmaankatu and Iso-Paavolankatu, as marked on the map. The first of which is a better location to hitchhike from due to it being close to a junction where cars will be travelling at a slower speed.


South towards Helsinki  12   04  E 75

There are two bus stops on Mannerheiminkatu (road 12) between Vesijärvenkatu/Uudenmaankatu and Iso-Paavolankatu, as marked on the map. The first of which is a better location to hitchhike from due to it being close to a junction where cars will be travelling at a slower speed.

There is another bus stop with good visibility on Mannerheiminkatu (road 12) just West of Hollolankatu/Helsingintie, as marked on the map.


Southwest, Riihimäki, Häeenlinna, (Turku, Tampere)

Walk from the marketplace on a road that goes by the conservatory and by the bus station on al hill. This road is the old road to Helsinki (if you want experience the real country life :). From the top of the hill there goes a road down to right, it leads to Tampere. Walk along it about 5-10min, over the railroad and over a walking road. There is a traffic light next to a bus stop, where you can usually catch a ride to at least Hollola. The road going to Riihimäaki goes left right after Hollola. This road takes you also to Turku. Later there is a chance to take a turn to Hämeenlinna and Jämsä
