1. Hotel Korpilampi Espoo “the nature choice”

SO, if you want to go easy, stay in the same hotel for the whole visit and enjoy the Finnish nature to the fullest during your whole stay in Finland, Hotel Korpilampi is your place. There is a water park Serena within 400m walk from the hotel, if anyone wants some extra activity nearby, especially for families. Read more at serena.fi/en/

(Notice that the public transportation connections to Korpilampi are weak so you cannot move around easily if you don’t have a car. There are no other restaurants or services in the area either for evenings. See ’How to get there’ page for more info. )

The Pre-EAM tour buses leave both from the hotel AND from a pointed location in Helsinki downtown every day. The distance from Korpilampi to Helsinki downtown is about 45 minutes and to Porvoo about 15 minutes longer than from Helsinki to Porvoo. Due to extra transportation the Pre-EAM tours are priced differently from Korpilampi or Helsinki.

2. Helsinki city “for more choices on your own”

IF you prefer more doing some self guided sightseeing on your own (or with your friends / family) and having more choices for dinner/evening program, you can also choose to switch hotels on Friday.

In that case, you book a hotel/hostel room of your liking, airbnb or what you want for your accommodation in Helsinki for the Pre-EAM days.
You can catch the tour buses from a designated spot in downtown Helsinki – and on Friday our buses take everyone from downtown Helsinki to the Hotel Korpilampi in the morning.
