Tournament venue #

This time, the tournament will take place at Turku University's Kampuskappeli, at Rehtorinpellonkatu 4 C, 20500 Turku. It is very close to where the tournament took place in the last two years, the building is in the same yard. It is right across Proffan Kellari, the bar where the club meetings take place. It is possible to visit the bar after the games. Note that at the chapel, we are not allowed to consume alcoholic beverages. It has a small kitchen, and you can bring your own food and drinks, but for having beers we should move over to Proffa.

If you come by train from direction Helsinki, you will arrive at Kupittaa station, from there it is 400m walking to the venue.

If you come from direction Tampere, you will arrive at Turku main station. From there, it's either a 30 minute walk, or a bus. There are no direct busses, you can check connections on the Föli wesite. Look for Rautatieasema to Yliopisto (TYKS U-sairaala).

If you come by bus, you will arrive at Turun linja-autoasema. From there, you can again either walk (about 20 minutes) or take the bus. Here it is a bit simpler, just take the 2, 2A, 2B, 2C, 6 or 60 at linja-autoasema, and get off at Yliopisto (TYKS U-sairaala).

If you come by car you can park at a university parking lot near the venue, but we encourage taking public transit, if you're travelling to Turku. :)

Theater Event in Turku#

On Friday and Saturday evening, there will be a small theater performance happening in Turku, revolving around the AlphaGo match with Lee Sedol. More information on this will be posted here shortly. We are going to organize a group to visit the event on both evenings.
