Turku · Sports & events

Inter Turku and TPS share the ground and play the Veikkausliiga from April to October. Tickets are cheap and usually available on the day.

Liiga runs from September to April at the arena near the sports park, with playoffs into spring and a rivalry with Tampere that fills the place.

An international athletics meeting each June at the stadium named after the local runner, plus a marathon carrying his name in the same season.

Turku sits at the head of a vast archipelago; regattas run on the Airisto waters through the summer and kayaks rent by the day from the river.
