Navigating Kuopio Airport

Kuopio Airport may not be as hustling as Heathrow or Gatwick, but it has its own charm and efficiency. Here's what you can anticipate:

• An efficient, compact terminal - quick in, quick out!
• Reliable car rental services with an array of cars suiting your personalized needs. You'll locate car rental stations just a few steps away from the terminal.

Ready, Set, Drive!

Steer your wheels onto Route 17 or Finnish National Road 5, both easily accessible from Kuopio Airport. Don’t worry, just like in Britain, speed limits in Finland are prominently displayed. Just note, they’re in km/h instead of mph!

Weather & Packing Guide

Unlike Britain's temperate marine climate, Finland's weather can bring quite a surprise! Pack for relatively cold winters and warm summers - guaranteeing an exciting variety for your holiday.

Money Matters

Whether it's for paying at a petrol station or buying souvenirs, your currency of choice here will be Euros (€). Plenty of ATMs are available for withdrawals if needed.

Discover Nearby Cities

Jump in your rental car and explore the nearby cities of Varkaus and Joensuu. Savour the beauty of Northern Savonia as you navigate Finnish roads safely in your chosen car rental.

Fuel up and Go

Fuelling up your car after a long journey can be a slight hiccup. Luckily, Neste K & ABC Kuopio Hirvilahti are two gas stations close to Kuopio Airport to assist.
