From the airport to the city: Use the public transport!
The way I would do it would be this:
Take the I or P train to Helsinki. Pay the
regional ticket. Do the same the way
back to the airport.
When going to sightseen buy a day ticket
You can choose a ticket for 1 – 7 days. Day tickets
are loaded on single-charge cards and they are valid from the first use.
Helsinki internal and regional day tickets are
available from blue ticket machines. Helsinki internal and regional one day
tickets are available also from bus and tram drivers as well as conductors on
commuter trains. The tickets are valid from the moment of purchase.
