How to get to Jyväskylä

As numbers of flights were reduced, there is no flight currently to Jyväskylä. Best option would be flying to Helsinky and then taking the train. Participants should be checking their personal travel routes to Helsinky. 

All information regarding the trains can be found on www.vr.fi/en. Though train station is located between terminals 1 and 2, enough time should be given between flight and train connection. Please note that the first train is always a short commuter train connection from the airport to Tikkurila, from where one changes on the main line from Helsinki to other destinations, including Jyväskylä.

A detailed map at https://www.jyu.fi/en/maps will show the train station location at Jyväskylä just as the Alba Hotel (opposite the science campus and at about 20min walking distance).
