Find your way
Get your bearings, then choose your next connection.
Your arrival starts at Logomo.
Passenger platforms are reached from the Logomo bridge, not the old station building. At our 3 October 2026 review, VR reported the Ratapihankatu-side lift out of service; the Logomo-side lift was working. Check the current notice before relying on a step-free route.
Logomo bridge
Follow the bridge signs to your track. Lifts connect the bridge from Ratapihankatu and Vaunukatu, but temporary outages can change the route. Use the live board for your train and allow time to reach its platform.
Logomo Kitchen
Station services are in Logomo, across the tracks from the city-centre side. The VR ticket machine stands outside Logomo Kitchen. An event entrance may be elsewhere in the building: follow your organiser’s directions.
Ratapihankatu
Föli line 20 connects the station area with the city centre. Check the stop and direction in the planner. The old station and car-loading area are separate from the passenger platforms; do not use an old entrance as your meeting point.
Trains
Turku city-centre station and Turku Harbour are different stations. Match your ticket’s station, train and date to the live board; use the journey search for connections rather than treating this guide as a timetable.
Find a trainBus
Line 20 serves the railway-station area and city centre. Check the boarding stop, destination and direction with Föli; not every city bus leaves from the bridge. Buy the appropriate local ticket separately from your VR train ticket.
Plan with FöliCoaches & harbour
The bus station, city-centre railway station and ferry terminals are not one interchange. Check the address on your coach or ferry booking. Street works in the port area can alter the final walking route; allow time for check-in.
Current port street worksTurku Airport
Föli line 1 connects the airport with the city centre and harbour. Plan the whole journey from Logomo, including the change and the stop for your direction; leave a margin for airport check-in.

The VR machine is outside, in front of Logomo Kitchen. Buy a train ticket from VR; use Föli’s ticket information for local buses. There is no staffed VR service point at the station.

Confirm the current lift situation with VR. Its assistance meeting point is on the Ratapihankatu side, beside the accessible parking spaces—not inside Logomo. Book assistance in advance and confirm the meeting arrangements for your journey.

Stay close for a short connection and check Logomo Kitchen’s own service hours. If you head into town for food, remember that the route back includes the bridge and the walk to your platform.

Step into Turku
A short pause or a whole day. Choose a visit that fits your journey.
A short stop
Find your next platform, then pause at Logomo if its services are open. With no station luggage storage, a short connection is best kept simple.
A few hours
Visit Turku Art Museum on Puolalanmäki or take a city-centre walk towards the Aura River. Check museum hours, carry only what you need and allow time to return across the bridge.
A day in Turku
Combine the market hall and riverbanks with one museum. The castle and harbour are a longer outing; plan the bus connection rather than rushing through several distant stops.
Places to start with
Logomo
The former railway workshops now host concerts, exhibitions and other events. Start with the programme for your visit, then check the entrance on your ticket rather than assuming the waiting-room entrance serves every event.
Arrival & event accessTurku Art Museum
Choose a gallery visit above the city centre, with a walk through the surrounding park. The hill matters if you need a gentler route: check the museum’s access information and current exhibitions before setting off.
Plan a museum visitAura riverside & Market Hall
Make the river your route rather than a list of attractions. Pick up something at the market hall, pause by the water and choose one bank to explore. Businesses have their own hours; winter weather may favour a shorter walk.
City walks & food · Visit TurkuAboa Vetus Ars Nova
Medieval streets and buildings beneath the city meet contemporary art at this riverside museum. Check exhibitions and accessibility before visiting: the museum reported stairlift maintenance in September 2026.
Arrival & accessibilityOld Great Square & cathedral quarter
Explore the square and riverside surroundings, but do not plan an interior cathedral visit. The parish lists the cathedral, its museum and café closed from 9 February 2026 until 2 December 2028 for renovation.
Cathedral renovation informationTurku Castle
Give the castle time of its own rather than treating it as a quick stop beside the railway. Check its opening hours and exhibitions, then plan the current approach through the port area.

Good to know
Where do I board a train in Turku?
City-centre passenger platforms are beside Logomo and reached from the Logomo bridge. Do not head to the old station building. Turku Harbour is a separate station: check the station named on your ticket.
Can I leave luggage at the station?
No luggage lockers are listed at the station, and Logomo does not offer storage. Arrange another option before planning a visit without your bags.
Where is the waiting room?
The waiting area and toilets are in Logomo. VR lists Monday–Saturday 06:30–21:00 and Sunday 07:30–21:00; businesses and events keep their own hours.
How do I arrange a step-free journey?
Check VR’s current lift notice and book assistance in advance. The meeting point is on the Ratapihankatu side, by accessible parking. At the October 2026 review, that side’s lift was under repair.
How do I reach the centre or airport?
Use Föli’s planner for the complete journey. Line 20 serves the railway-station area and centre; line 1 serves the airport via the centre. Confirm the change, boarding stop and direction.
What can I do between trains?
For a short stop, stay at Logomo. With more time, choose the art museum or a riverside walk. For a full day, add one museum or the castle. Keep luggage, opening hours and the bridge route back in mind; the cathedral interior is closed for renovation.
