We highly recommend you book your accommodation as early as possible, this way you can save roughly €100–€150 on your accommodation price.

Airbnb is one of the most reliable options for finding your accommodation also in Helsinki. If you book early, during Fall 2026, you can find a room for €500-€700. The longer you wait the more the price of the rooms goes up. See Airbnb options.
