How to reach Turku? Arrival instructions
By air
It is quite convenient to arrive in Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. There are long distance bus connections and a train connection leaving approximately every hour from the airport to Turku. The traveling time between Helsinki-Vantaa airport and the Turku bus station is about two and a half hours. Please check the connections to Turku from “By bus” or “By train” guidance below.
There are several international flights arriving directly in Turku Airport. The airport is 8 kilometres from the city centre, which can be reached by taxi (approx. €25) or by local bus number 1 (c. 3€). If your arrival time to Turku Airport is after the last bus and there is no taxi to be found, you can order one by using the service phone which is located near the exit on the arrivals level of the terminal.
By bus
The national long distance bus service Matkahuolto departs from local bus stations all throughout Finland and also from Helsinki-Vantaa airport. The final stop in Turku for long distance buses is at the Turku Bus Station (linja-autoasema) which is located at the city centre.
There may be a change of bus in Espoo during the trip from Helsinki-Vantaa airport to Turku. The bus personnel will inform you about the change and your luggage will be transferred by the bus personnel.
Another possibility is to use the bus service Onnibus.
Both bus services have online offers on tickets. Usually you get the tickets cheaper if purchased in advance.

The national train company VR departs from the local railway stations all throughout Finland. There are two railway stations in Turku:
