Public transport
On the Tampere regional public transport website you'll find up-to-date information on bus routes, a journey planner, and details of extra services during events and fairs. The journey from the city centre to the Messukeskus B stop takes about 15 minutes.
Parking
Parking tickets are sold from the ticket offices which are located in the entrances. Although it’s possible to pay the ticket on your way out, we strongly recommend to buy the ticket from inside since paying outside causes issues with traffic piling up.
Parking space is limited and we strongly recommend using public transport and shuttle buses.
Parking price 11€/day/parking space
You can pay parking by using the applications: Moovy, Easypark or Parkman.
Park and ride
Drive your own car to a park-and-ride site elsewhere in Pirkanmaa and continue your journey by public transport, avoiding the fair traffic. Parking is free — you only pay for the bus tickets to the fair and back to the car park. See the park-and-ride locations and instructions from the link below.
Note! Cash payment is not accepted on the buses. See detailed ticket-buying instructions via the link.
Coaches
Chartered coaches drive to the coach area in front of Hall D, from where traffic control directs the coaches to near the southern entrance to drop off their group.
Groups are picked up after the fair day in front of Hall D. Note! Coaches cannot be left parked in the exhibition centre area due to limited parking space. For parking coaches during the fair day, we recommend the car parks at IKEA Tampere or the Kolmenkulma ABC, for example. There is no separately arranged transport to the fair from these areas.
Disabled parking
Disabled parking is free of charge. The reserved parking spaces are in front of the main entrance.
Taxi
Taxi stand is located in the front of main entrance in Tampere Exhibition and Sports Centre. Tampere City Centre is about 15 minutes away from here.
By city bikes
A Tampere City bike station is located next to the Exhibition and Sports Centre by a bus stop named Messukeskus B. City bikes are an especially clever and affordable way to travel between the Exhibition and Sports Centre and the city central but can also be used to reach other locations near city central as well as in Kaleva and Hervanta areas.
Electric vehicle charging
Electric car charging points are in the northern parking area of the Tampere Exhibition and Sports Centre, and there are also some charging points behind Hall B and in front of the main entrance. Charging is subject to a fee.
