Welcome to Finland!

Host cities Espoo and Vantaa are easily accessible from around the world. Together with capital city Helsinki, they offer lots to do and see in addition to the 2024 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 World Championship games. 

In Finland, English is widely understood and spoken, which helps foreign visitors to make the most out of their visit. 

There are several possibilities for short- and long-term accommodation available. Good option with plenty of hotels in Espoo, Vantaa and Helsinki Region is the Official Partner of the Event, Sokos Hotels. 

Also moving around is easy both by public transportation and private cars. 

HSL is responsible for public transport in the entire Helsinki Region, which makes it convenient for the visitors. We highly recommend to download the free HSL app from AppStore, GooglePlay or AppGallery to find tickets and routes easily and to buy single, day or season tickets with personal debit/credit card. 

For those who prefer private cars, there is a parking area located in vicinity of both venues.
