Looking for a toilet in Finland rarely costs anything: 97 per cent of the 267 listed toilets are free. Only 8 charge. That is the comfortable case — you can set off without hunting for coins.

So far only Helsinki is covered for Finland, with 267 toilets. That does not mean there are none elsewhere — it means nobody has added them yet. The map grows with the people who use it.

Step-free access and changing tables

43 per cent of toilets in Finland are recorded as step-free — a good figure by international comparison. A baby changing table is noted on 28 entries (10 per cent); with small children it is worth checking the features before you set off.

Where these numbers come from

Most entries for Finland come from OpenStreetMap, the open map volunteers have been building since 2004. On top of that sit places users added in the app themselves, with ratings and photos. The two sources are kept apart so a mistake in one never overwrites the other. An entry reported as gone is hidden rather than deleted — so it can come back if the toilet reopens.
