The bus transports within Hämeenlinna are sparse, but luckily the distances are short. From the bus station the distance to the festival area is approximately 900 meters through Linnankatu. The distance from the railway station is approximately 1500 meters across a stunning lakeside road.

There is a free transport from the railway station to the festival area. The bus is going non-stop around every 20 minutes between the raiway station and Niittykatu on Saturday and Sunday. Bus starts its operations on 9:30AM and the final trip will be at 6:30PM on Saturday and 5:30PM on Sunday.

Keep in mind that there are very few parking spaces on the historic site. We recommend leaving your car either to Pööli, in front of Vanainkatu 1, or Kaivoparkki, in front of Kaivokatu 13, approximately 800 meters way from the main gate. The closest parking spaces can be found in Hämeenlinna’s city center.

The parking spaces situated next to Linnapuisto are in use during the event, and there is no parking for visitors.

You can find different parking halls and areas on Hämeenlinna city’s web site.

During the festival on August 16th to 18th it will only cost a maximum of 7€ per day to park in Pööli, when parking with theMoovyapp. (Other payment options cost the normal amount.) Pööli is located near the Hämeenlinna railway station (at the address Vanainkatu 1), and you can walk to the festival grounds from there.
