Where to stay
Nearly two-thirds of Finnish people live in privately-owned property. The availability of rented accommodation varies from one place to another. The level of rent in Helsinki is considerably higher than in the rest of Finland, particularly in the city centre.
Private landlords advertise rental accommodation in newspapers. Rental accommodation can also be found through estate agents, on the Internet, or in the ‘property to rent wanted’ classified advertisements placed in newspapers.
Newspapers also publish estate agent addresses: browse here to find a list of local magazines and newspapers.
Find on vuokraovi.com information on the rentals market in Finland.
While waiting for more permanent accommodation, you can think about staying in a hostel for a short period: the Finnish Hostel Association’s network includes nearly 50 one-of-a-kind and social hostels all over Finland.
