Tips & Advice
- To ensure you get a seat for your favorite artist's performance, plan to arrive at the Estradi stage well in advance of the 7 PM showtime, especially on popular evenings.
- Consider purchasing your tickets and any desired wristbands online in advance to secure your spot and potentially save time upon arrival, as availability can be limited.
- Utilize public transportation to reach Linnanmäki, as parking is scarce and often paid. Tram and bus routes offer convenient access directly to or near the park entrances.
- Dress in layers, as October evenings in Helsinki can be cool. Comfortable footwear is also recommended for exploring the park and enjoying the light displays.
- Check the official schedule for specific performer dates and times upon arrival or online, as performance schedules can sometimes be subject to change.
