Arrival Instructions

Please consider other traffic when arriving at the event venue and side events. Follow the given instructions to avoid unnecessary congestion and ensure smooth traffic flow. We recommend arriving at the event area via the northern traffic circle and driving through the space between the shops via Kisatie to reach Iisi arena.

When leaving the event, exit the premises by turning right (southward onto Kisatie) and immediately turn right at the first intersection onto Kangastie. Then, turn left from the end of Kangastie onto Valtarintie, and from Alarannantie, you can return to Highway 4.

AVOID using the intersection of Mujuntie, as it is narrow and will cause additional congestion!
DO NOT park cars in the shop parking lots.
Campervans, motorhomes and caravans are not allowed in the Iisi Arena parking area to avoid congestion. More information on alternative parking areas will be provided later.
