Travel notes for Satakunta Region

From Wikivoyage

Satakunta is a region of Western Finland.

Get in+

Despite being in the southern part of Finland, Satakunta is not as well connected as the neighbouring provinces. There are direct flights daily to Pori from Helsinki, but all train lines go via Tampere, where you need to transfer. Hence, the transportation of choice should definitely be a coach – there are coaches along national road 8, as well as services to Pori and Rauma from Helsinki and Tampere. The nearest airports with international service are Tampere, Turku, Helsinki and Vaasa.

For coaches, see Matkahuolto. Seutu+ is a system of regional bus tickets in parts of Satakunta. Timetables and journey planner are available. For short-haul connections, see also the city articles.

For trains, see VR.
