Accessibility

Any parking space can be used free of charge when using a valid disabled parking permit. There are 20 marked accessible parking spaces available on the first level (P1) of the Messukeskus Car Park and near the Northern Entrance. No parking fees will be collected as long as you declare your vehicle registration number to the Messukeskus Customer Service Point before exiting the parking area.

Although there are some accessible parking spaces within the Conference Centre parking area as well, we recommend using other options as there is elevation and a pretty steep hill on route to the Southern Entrance.

All entrances and passages at the venue are wheelchair accessible. Elevators, which are marked on the maps of the convention area, can be used to move between halls. Most of the restaurants and cafes of the venue are also wheelchair accessible. Accessible toilets are also marked to the map.

Navigating through construction sites around Pasila station

Construction work for the new shopping centre Tripla at Central Pasila is well underway and the renovation work is being done both inside and outside of the Pasila railway station. This has affected some of the routes in and around the station.

Although there are good arrangements and signs present at the Pasila station, we recommend using the pedestrian tunnels (north of the station) to reach Messukeskus. By using the tunnels you can avoid the construction site and get to the venue faster. You can see the recommended route from Pasila station to Messukeskus here.

Up-to-date information on traffic arrangements and pedestrian routes can be found at the HRT Pasila website. Services and stores available at the Pasila railway station during the construction process can be found on the Pasila railway station website.
