Changes to traffic arrangements
Entrance to Villa Hakasalmi is from Töölönlahdenkatu on the side closest to Musiikkitalo and Oodi Library. The nearest public transport stops are Lasipalatsi, Kamppi and the Railway Station, but the National Museum stop is temporarily closed. Trams 4 and 10 and buses 63, 212, 213 and 400 are shifting to run on Runeberginkatu. The works also cause changes to the pedestrian and bicycle lanes.
