Tikkurila Railway Station

Tikkurila is both Vantaa’s long-distance rail gateway and an airport interchange, but it is also a destination: the old station museum, Keravanjoki and Heureka begin around the accessible Dixi travel centre. Decide whether you are changing, staying in Tikkurila or travelling elsewhere in Vantaa.
