Turku international airport is a small airport with daily connections to and from Helsinki, Stockholm and Riga.

Helsinki international airport is the main destination in Finland, offering over 300 flights per day. These direct connections serve all major European cities and several Asian destinations. From Helsinki there are hourly train and bus connections to Turku with travel time about 2-2.5 hours. They may be more suitable and affordable than the flight connections.

Summer School participants are advised to arrive already on Sunday 24 June. There are no functional connections on Monday morning. More information can be found from Finavia and Visit Finland web sites.
