Welcome to Lahti – where nature and city life meet.

Just an hour north of Helsinki, Lahti blends active living, calm moments, and new opportunities for sport, study, and work.

Shaped by the Ice Age and crowned by the SalpausselkÀ ridge, the landscape flows with pure groundwater and lakes that shine year-round. Forests, lakes, and city streets form one seamless path.

A proud European Green Capital (2021) and Finland’s leading year-round sports city.

Easy to reach:
From Helsinki Airport, take commuter train P to Tikkurila and then Z or InterCity to Lahti. Direct buses like OnniBus run often.

Lahti is closer than you think — and ready to welcome you!
