Question: some tips about ikea?

[onkko]

The directions Ikea give out in the main store are sketchy, to say the least. And, in true Finnish style, there are no street name signs anywhere.

Good luck.

Nice to know that there isnt name signs, someone must stolen those because every street i have seen in finland have had a sign...



In this picture you se name sign in finnish and swedish.

And if its not possible to put it in wall then you see something like this

Take a walk around Pasila.

Go for a drive to Ikea, Espoo!

It's no wonder the Russians couldn't invade properly. They hadn't got a clue where they were.

JOKE ALERT

According to what I could translate from the IKEA website, and please correct me if I am wrong, there is the possibility to take a free bus from Helsinki to Ikea in Vantaa and to take the same bus that it would left me near the metro station
In this page:

I think that it says that this bus goes from Hakaniemi to IKEA Vantaa at 12:00 - 4:00 - 6:00 on Sundays, is that correct?
and that the bus stop in Hakaniemi is the one called or the stree is called, I just do not know, Torikatu?
does anyone knows where is exacly located this bus stop if I stop in the metro station that is in Hakaniemi?
thanks in advance

The IKEA bus stops on the side of the Hakaniemi square where the trams are not (the trams stop on one side, the IKEA bus stops on the other side). If you are there ca 15 mins before the bus should come, there is usually a group of people waiting. The stop is ca between the market building and a small kioski selling coffee.
The IKEA bus to the Espoo IKEA goes at the same times but from Kiasma (next to the Mannerheim statue).

But I do not think the bus goes on Sundays any more, isn't the summer opening of shops on Sundays finished now? I think from now until Christmas, IKEA is only open on Mondays to Saturdays.

I hope you mean Mon-Fri. If you are going to explore Ikea offers and think your solution, I would
warmly recommend to avoid to go there on Saturday, as on that day it becomes a huge kindergarten
and family-gathering place. You have been warned.
