Helsinki taxi fares and tips

Finding a taxi in Helsinki

Taxis in Helsinki have yellow roof signs (saying either TAXI or TAKSI), and come in all colors. In Helsinki, taxi's can't usually be stopped in the streets, as it's not mandatory for taxi drivers to pick up passengers. Instead, there are plenty of taxi stands all over the city, where the queues at weekend nights might be quite long.

Taxis can also be booked by phone, see contact details below.
