Trip to Turku

Some of you might be interested into taking part in a trip to Turku on Saturday (17 Sep).

Here are some useful links I've gathered so far.

• City of Turku - some basic facts not very usefull for tourists
• Turku Touring - basically everything a tourist need
• Turku by Wikipedia - comprehensive description of Turku (history, geography, climate, people, economy etc.)
• Turku Science Park - one interesting link I found :-)
• Finnish railways - or how to get there (click on Journey search)

How to get there? It takes some 2 hours to get there from Helsinki. Normal price is 22,8 EUR, with the student discounts it is only 11,4 EUR or we can also use the group ticket but it would cost then some 20 EUR/person.

Schedule

• going there
• 07:38 (09:25 in Turku, it is Pendolino train and the student ticket is 14,7 EUR)
