Helsinki Citybikes

During summertime (from mid-May to September), Helsinki offers Citybikes. Find one of the 26 Citybike stands in the city center, pay a deposit of €2 ($2.65) and tour as you please on one of the bright green bikes. After you have finished, return the bike to any Citybike stand and your €2 deposit is returned. There are well-marked bike paths throughout Helsinki and in scenic districts such as Töölö Bay.
