How to get from Jyväskylä airport in Tikkakoski to Jyväskylä city centre:
Once landing in Jyväskylä, the easiest way is to book a taxi or rent a car, since there is no public transport from the airport to the Jyväskylä center. The drive will take around 20 minutes.
Taxis operating in the Jyväskylä region wait in front of the airport when flights arrive.

Both venues are located right next to each other in Jyväskylä Harbour area, making it easy to park once and enjoy the day on foot.

Driving electric? No problem. An ABC-lataus EV charging station is available on the street-level floor of P-Paviljonki 2.
Since both venues are within walking distance of each other, we highly recommend parking once and leaving your car in the garage for the day. It’s the easiest way to enjoy the event without worrying about moving your vehicle or finding street parking again.
Parking spaces in the harbour area can fill up during busy event hours, so arriving a little earlier is always a good idea.
