Getting here

We’d encourage visitors, where possible, to walk, cycle or use public transport (please see the Reittiopas itinerary suggestions). It takes about ten minutes to walk to Lapinlahden Lähde from the Ruoholahti underground station – Please see our instruction video (in Finnish), recorded by one of our volunteers, that shows the route.

As to cars, there is a parking lot in front of the main building. However, the parking lot is small, and we’d prefer that only disabled visitors use it. For people without disabilities, there is also a parking garage in Ruoholahti from which it takes about five minutes to walk to Lapinlahden Lähde. Furthermore, there are additional parking spaces alongside Lapinlahdentie.

Accessibility

The Lapinlahti hospital is an old building and therefore somewhat inconvient to disabled visitors. There is no lift in the building, so many of the rooms can be hard to access. We do have wheelchair ramps that enable access to spaces on the ground floor, such as Café Lähde and art galleries. We are investigating ways to increase the accessibility of Lapinlahden Lähde.
