Transport from Tampere Airport: My Tips
Tampere Airport is connected to the city centre by special bus line 103, and line 34 also serves the outskirts of the city.
The mobile apps Uber and Bolt are also available in Tampere.
Public transport - buses
Despite the very light flight traffic, there are two bus lines that run directly to the terminal throughout the day, with the same fares as all bus and tram lines in Tampere:
- Line 103 - goes directly to the centre of Tampere and connects to all scheduled flights including the night arrival or early morning departure of airBaltic to/from Riga.
- route map
- Tip for a hotel near the train station: Scandic Tampere City ****
- Line 34 - runs every 30 minutes throughout the day (but only on weekdays) to the western edge of the city (Lielahti)
The journey to the city centre on line 103 takes 30 minutes.
Information about public transport in Tampere can be found on the nysse.fi website and a connection finder on the reittiopas.tampere.fi website.
Fares can be purchased with your own contactless card and are valid for 90 minutes. There are also 24-hour limits - no more money will ever be charged to your card in a given period.
You can also pay fares via the Nysse mobile app.
The airport is in Zone C and the city centre is in Zone A, so you'll need the most expensive 'ABC' fare to get around:
- 4,70 eur - fare for 90 minutes
- 10 eur - fare for 24 hours
Taxi / Uber / Bolt
Taxis are often waiting at scheduled arrivals, but they can be scarce. Fortunately, both Uber and Bolt apps work well in Tampere.
Prices are similar for all modes of transport, and to the centre range between 32 eur and 37 eur depending on current traffic.
Car rental
There are several car rental companies operating in the terminal (e.g. Avis, Budget, Europcar, Keddy and others), making it an ideal mode of transport for exploring the Finnish countryside.
Prices for a 3-day rental start at 120 eur.

The last No. 103 leaves the airport at 1.15 am and the first at 4.08 am.
Uber and Bolt can both be had for around 20 EUR. I wouldn’t say that Uber works well, though. It plots nonsensical routes on the map, which are then blindly followed by drivers who aren’t from around here – if I may avoid using the word ‘immigrants’ – and either they waste a lot of your time, or they end up cancelling the journey, or perhaps they don’t even cancel it and simply don’t turn up (the same thing happened to me recently in Estonia).
