Travelling to Tampere from Helsinki-Vantaa Airport
The easiest way to reach Tampere independently is by train.

• Take a local train from Helsinki-Vantaa Airport to Tikkurila Station.
• From Tikkurila, board a long-distance VR train to Tampere (journey time approximately 1 hour 30 minutes).
• Tickets can be purchased in advance via the VR website or at station ticket machines.
• Wi-Fi is available on long-distance trains.

If you are staying in Helsinki before the event, you can also travel directly from Helsinki Central Railway Station to Tampere. Trains run frequently and the journey takes approximately 1 hour 40 minutes.

Getting around in Tampere

All official event hotels are located in Tampere city centre, approximately 10 minutes' walk from Nokia Arena.

As a result, no shuttle buses will operate between the hotels and Nokia Arena during the conference.

Getting around in Turku

Transportation is provided between the official hotels, event venues and evening functions, as these locations are further apart than in Tampere.

Arriving in Sandviken

If you are arriving or departing Sandviken outside of the organized event agenda transportation schedule, please contact the Rock Tools event team and we will make sure the best travel option is presented to you:
