How to get to Courses & Parking
Public transport
Thanks to our host cities you can use the public transport for free with the tickets!
Public transport is the easiest way to get to the courses. The nearest bus stops are located close to the venues, and tickets include the right to travel with Tampere Regional Transport Nysse. The right to travel is valid on buses and trams from 07:00 to 22:00 on the day of the event. The ticket is provided by the City of Tampere.
We recommend that you use the Nysse journey planner to find the most suitable travel option. You only need to know your departure point and the address of your destination.
The event venue addresses are:
- Nokia: Hinttalankatu 6, Nokia
- Tampere: Soukonvuorentie 14, Tampere
Parking
The parking space at both tournament centers is very limited. Because of this we recommend you to carpool with friends, or arriving by bike, or using public transportation.
If you come by car please be prepared to walk a little from the parking lot to the tournament center. Our staff will direct you to the closest possible vacant parking lot.
