Lappeenranta Airport (LPP) to the town
The airport sits about 2 km west of Lappeenranta, close enough that a taxi is short and the walk is possible.
- The airport is about 2 km from the centre of Lappeenranta, on the western edge of the town.
- That is one of the shortest airport to city distances in Europe, and it changes the calculation entirely.
- A taxi is a short ride rather than a serious fare.
- Local buses serve the airport road, and the town network is small enough to be simple.
- Lappeenranta railway station connects to Helsinki in about two hours.
- The Russian border is 30 km away, and the bus links across it have not operated since 2022.
Very close in
- Two kilometres. Lappeenranta Airport is effectively in the town, which is why it has no elaborate transfer arrangements.
- A taxi from the rank is short and cheap by Finnish standards.
- Walking is genuinely possible in good weather with light luggage, which is not true at any other airport in this list.
Where you can go
- Lappeenranta railway station puts Helsinki about two hours away.
- The town sits on Lake Saimaa, Finland's largest lake, and the harbour is the departure point for lake cruises.
- The Russian border at Nuijamaa is around 30 km away. The cross border bus services that once used this airport have not run since 2022, so do not plan around them.
