Turku is located on the south-west coast of Finland,

and in 2011 will be the European
Capital of Culture.
The main travel connections are as follows:
Flights: Turku's international
airport is located 10 km north of the city centre. For more
information, see Finavia's website.
Train: A train trip from
Helsinki to Turku takes less than two hours. The timetables and
the prices can be found at the Finnish
railway (VR) website.
Coach: A coach trip from Helsinki
airport takes
approximately two hours. The timetables and ticket prices can be
