Conference dinner on June 6

The conference dinner is in Suomenlinna (The Suomenlinna Sea Fortress https://www.suomenlinna.fi/en/). Suomenlinna is a World Heritage Site, only a 15-minute ferry ride from Helsinki Market Square (Kauppatori). The restaurant is just beside the main dock of Suomenlinna and the address is:

Restaurant Suomenlinnan Panimo (Suomenlinna Brewery), Suomenlinna C 1, 00190 Helsinki.

For the ferry ride, you will need an HSL zone AB ticket (see the paragraph "Public transport").

The dinner starts at 19:30, so we recommend taking the ferry that leaves from Kauppatori at 19:00. Please remember to buy your ticket beforehand. Tickets are not sold on board.

If you haven't registered to the dinner yet, please contact the organizers of the conference.

Public transport

For local travel in Helsinki (including travel from and to the airport by train) we recommend that you use the public transport HSL. For the airport, you will need an HSL zone ABC ticket, while for downtown public transport (including the ferry ride to Suomenlinna to the conference dinner on Thursday June 6) an HSL zone AB ticket will be sufficient. You can buy HSL tickets from e.g. R-kiosks or (conveniently) from the HSL app. See https://www.hsl.fi/en for more information.
