Local/Travel Information

Though Finland is far north and cold in the winter, the weather in August is usually warm. Anyway, it can also be rainy and windy days, a sweater and raincoat/umbrella can be useful, but don´t forget to take your swimsuit with you. Days are still long in August (there is no midnight sun, though).

Hotel contact information:

We have a limited amount of rooms already reserved at Karina and Centro. Prices apply if you mention that you are attending the Nordic Workshop at Åbo Akademi.
Bookings at Hotel Karina must be made at least one month before.

We recommend Hotels Karina and Centro but Hostel Turku is a cheap alternative to the two.
Hotel Karina is closest to the venue, but a 20 minute walk from the city center, while Hotel Centro is in the city center and a 20 minute walk from the venue.

All the hotels are open 24 hours. In case you will arrive to Turku very late in the evening, please inform the hotel about it. The easiest way to reach the hotels from the airport or harbor is by taxi.
