We plan a big route in Europe with a lot of night trains, so we need reservations for them.
I will be at Helsinki on Saturday, 2 may.
Who knows - is it possible to buy reservations on railroad station at Helsinki? Or there are no terminals connected with other european rail networks? Or (probably) the main ticket center is closed on Saturdays?

So they have connection with other systems. That's great.
I had doubts because there are no direct trains from Finland to other European countries. But even DB has no office in Finland (only in Sweden).

Apart from the Pendolino trains (S220 in the the timetable) there are no supplements when using domestic rail passes here. I think the same applies to interrail tickets. Feel free to ask more as I live here in Helsinki.

To whom it may concern (in the future).
I had bought almost all reservations in Helsinki with following problems:
1) Only scandinavian tickets are availiable 3 months in advance. Others - only 2 months.
2) I had bought many reservations: Stockholm-Malmo-Berlin, Gettingen-Paris-Irun-Madrid, Cerbere-Paris-Bruxelles, Amsterdam-Basel-Linz, Wien-Venezia, Bratislava-Praha-Krakow-Wroclaw, Berlin-Warsaw. Night trains, spain express train, Thalys,...
But It was unable to buy:
a) Madrid-Girona (it seems that spain railways didn't open that train for selling, despite of schedule changing at 11/06)
b) Warsaw-Minsk ( usual problem with trains crossing the Belarus border). I bought them in Petersburg.
c) Venezia-Budapest. Neither me nor Ticket Master understood why. The system sees tickets, but do not allow to buy them.

The same problems occur at Graz at the moment.
