Tampere is within easy reach by plane, train, bus or car. In the city most hotels and attractions are within walking distance from each other and easy to reach. In case you don’t want to walk, Tampere public transportation takes you where ever you want go within the region. Jump on a local bus, or tram, and explore the city!”

The conference will be held at the Linna building of the Tampere University City Centre campus. Here you can find a map of the campus. Linna is the building marked with number 4. You can reach it either through Pinninkatu or through Kalevantie on the other side. Most of the sessions will take place at ground floor (-1 floor) of the Linna building. The main entrance by Pinninkatu leads directly to the conference venue. If you are arriving from Kalevantie, you need to go down the stairs to reach the venue.

You can find more information about the City Centre campus and the services it provides here.

The City Centre campus of the Tampere University is situated very close to the railway station (approx 600 meters) and there are several good hotels almost right next to the university. Here are some hotels you might want to consider:
