IKEA stores in Helsinki and in Finland
IKEA is a popular store for all things to buy around the house. Operating in all continents around the world IKEA is a global brand known for it's products.
The products are scandinavian design, are of good value with reasonable prices. Packaging is small because most items require assembly. IKEA is very popular in Finland and there are six stores in the country.
Currently there is no IKEA department store in the Finnish capital city. Customers in Helsinki must now seek to go to stores in nearby Espoo and Vantaa to purchase IKEA goods. Online shopping in IKEA is also popular in Finland, but the stores give an opportunity for hands on feel.
The large stores are both some time away from the city centre in Helsinki, but the company offers a bus to take customers to the customers.
The free IKEA Busses from Helsinki to Espoo and Vantaa run every day of the week. The departure point is in Mannerheiminaukio, in front of the Kiasma Modern Art Museum.
In addition there are departures from the Itäkeskus Itis shopping mall to the Vantaa IKEA. All the busses busses take the first 60 passengers, which is why the company recommends to arrive early to the stops. The bus does not stop between the end points.
Driving to Vantaa and Espoo IKEA - Rental trailers and vans
Driving with a car or van is the most popular option to be able to carry the purchases from the store. Both IKEA department stores in Espoo and Vantaa are large warehouses with ample stock for immediate pick up for most items.
