Students
As a student you get a discount on train tickets if you have a student
union student card approved by VR or the VR and Matkahuolto joint student card.
You get a student discount when travelling on long-distance trains
- Basic and Flexible
tickets
- 10 journey multi-tickets
- Group tickets
As a student you can also travel with an inexpensive Advance ticket
which can be purchased online 60-7 days before the journey. A student discount
is not, however, granted on Advance tickets. A student discount is also not
granted on season tickets, pet or bicycle charges, sleeping car tickets or
car-carrier tickets.
Long-distance fares depend on the type of ticket and time of purchase.
To compare long-distance train ticket prices go to
VR
Online Shop. Read more on available ticket types to find the best
alternative. Please note that terms of cancellation and other terms vary
according to the type of ticket you choose.
