Worldcon 75: Helsinki

It’s official: Worldcon 75 will be held in Helsinki, as it should be. Even if the North-American vote hadn’t been split between Washington and Montreal, Helsinki would’ve won. Barring accident, it’ll be the second worldcon I’ll be going to, but I wonder how hard it would be to do by train from Amsterdam to Helsinki?

    If I was doing Amsterdam Helsinki by surface transport, I’d probably take a train from Amsterdam to Copenhagen as the first step, then across from Copenhagen to Malmö, then train up to Stockholm, then take the ferry across from there to Helsinki.

    I think Amesterdam to Copenhagen involves changing trains in Hamburg, but it’s been quite a while since I specced that route out.

    That sounds reasonable.

    If you want to be purist about it there are frequent trains from Copenhagen to Malmö or Stockholm over the Øresund bridge these days.

    Or you could take a train to Rostock or Travemünde, Germany, then a ferry to Helsinki.

    When I still lived in Delft, I’d sometimes take the bus (Eurolines) from Den Haag to Stockholm. Then a ferry to Helsinki. Took ages, but I had some wonderful conversations with the people on the bus and made some true friends..
