Car Class Recommendations

We highly recommend a compact car or an SUV if you plan to venture into the rural landscapes. They provide good fuel efficiency and space for baggage. Be sure to book your car early, especially during the summer and winter high seasons.

Fuel Stations & Driving Routes

There are many petrol stations around the airport and Jyväskylä area, and they operate 24/7. You’ll find automated machines at these stations that accept credit cards. Most popular routes from the airport include those towards Jyväskylä downtown, the scenic route towards Lakeland, or the cultural heritage destination of Petäjävesi Old Church.

Accessibility & Connections

Getting to and from Jyväskylä Airport is straightforward. Taxis are available, and there's a bus service to Jyväskylä city centre. The airport provides free WiFi, spacious waiting areas, and refreshments at the café. Remember, the official currency is Euro (€), not Pound Sterling (£), so be prepared.

Climate & Surrounding Cities

Finland has a northern climate, and Jyväskylä is no exception! Expect snowy winters and warm summers. For a unique cultural experience, visit the Alvar Aalto Museum in Jyväskylä or for the nature lovers, drive up to Laajis, an urban outdoor park for memorable outdoor activities.

We wish you a fantastic journey exploring the heart of Finland. Enjoy every bit of your self-driving experience!
