Turku Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Turku airport is about 9 km from the centre and has no railway line of its own: Föli bus 1 links the terminals to the market square in about 13 minutes, with regular departures from 5:20 in the morning. The distance is so small that sleeping in the centre rarely costs more than a few extra minutes of bus compared with a dedicated airport area, which here does not really exist as a separate zone.

Historic centre and the market square

City centre · Föli bus 1 to the airport in about 13 minutes from the central stops; by taxi the trip takes just a few minutes longer at peak times.

Best for: Those who want the Aura river, the market square and the cathedral within walking distance, with the airport bus just steps from the hotel.

Pros

The Aura river, the market square and the cathedral walkable from most hotels
Frequent bus 1 to the airport, with no need to change

Cons

No direct railway link with the airport: it is still a bus or a taxi
At weekends the streets around the market square stay lively and noisy until late
