I visited Helsinki's new stress-busting airport terminal it had bird song in the bathrooms, a Moomin cafe, and rocking chairs to wait for boarding

From Helsinki, the trip is easy. A train goes from central Helsinki to the airport for about 4.10 euros (about $4.20).

The terminal has been designed to simplify the path of passengers through the airport. There is only one terminal and everything is all in one room.

I didn't need to check my bag in, so I was headed straight to security. I got there from the train within ten to 15 minutes without having to stop to find my way around.

Signage in the airport has been designed to minimize confusion among passengers as much as possible, Katja Siberg, a spokesperson for Finavia, which operates the airport, told Insider.

The roof of the departure hall, made of Finnish birch, is also intentionally curved to "guide the passenger intuitively from the main entrance through the check-in to the security control," Siberg told Insider.

The security area was designed in shades of blue to instill a sense of calm among the travelers, per Finavia.

I was surprised not to be asked to take my laptop or liquids out of my bag at security.

"The new 3D scanners speed up security control, as liquids and electronic devices no longer need to be taken out of hand baggage for scanning. For the passenger, this means less unpacking and repacking, which makes the process more comfortable and stress-free," said Siberg.

In spite of this, my bag was pulled to the side because the machine didn't read it correctly the first time, so it had to be scanned a second time. I noticed a few people had a similar issue next to me.

Nevertheless, I went through security in less than ten minutes.

All of the terminal's design is reminiscent of natural themes. It used a lot of birchwood and green colors.

It was easy to get around the relatively small hall.

The terminal was designed to encourage a relaxing atmosphere, Siberg said. I was surprised by how quiet it was.

Announcements are purposefully kept to a minimum in the airport to reduce stress and "sense of hurry," said Siberg.

"A lot of attention has been paid to the acoustics and materials of the new terminal facilities, to keep the background noise at a low level even during peak hours," she said.

Sounds of nature are also played into the area.

I think the foam art was meant to be Moomin themed, but didn't quite work out.

I found the airport met its brief: it was relaxing, much more so than many other airports I've been to before.
