COST: Walking around the area is completely free.

HOW TO GET THERE:

• By car: About a 15–20 min drive from Turku city center. There’s a small parking area nearby.

• By bike: Very easy and scenic, Ruissalo is full of beautiful paths.

• By bus: Take bus 28 from Turku city center toward Ruissalo, get off at the Ruissalo route stop closest to the marina. Then a short walk (check local schedules!).

• By waterbus: In summer, you can take the Turku waterbus directly to Ruissalon Telakka which is such a fun and unique way to arrive! It leaves from the Turku city center. You can pay with a Föli card or buy a single ticket on board, so it’s easy to hop on even if you’re just visiting for the day.
