Arrival at Tiivistämö and accessibility

Tiivistämö is located in the middle of Suvilahti’s cultural and event area in building number 5. Entrance to the area is from Sörnäisten rantatie 22 and Kaasutehtaankatu 1. More information about Tiivistämö.

Tiivistämö has barrier-free access from the door on the left side of the main doors, which is marked with a sign indicating accessibility. The door leads to the Lämpiö space, from where you can take a wheelchair lift to the side of the Tiivistämö hall. The accessible toilet is located in the lobby of Tiivistämö.

The escort traffic stop is located near the entrance (distance no more than 5 meters), from where you can get to the entrance smoothly. You can drive to Tiivistämö from Sörnäisten rantatie and through Kalasatama. We recommend arriving through Kalasatama, to avoid the construction site at Suvilahti.
