Getting there

The 33rd European Juggling Convention in 2010 will take place in Joensuu, Finland.


The Easiest way to get here is by flying straight to Joensuu.


The Cheapest way is probably to fly to Tampere by Ryan-Air and then take a train from Tampere to Joensuu.

 Or now that Ryan-Air is also flying to Lappeenranta from Dusseldorf (Weeze). This is propably less than 100 € back and forth, then it's 234 km to Joensuu and EJC2010 site.This costs somethin like 40 € for adults by train and bus is about the same.


Fun way would be to fly to Stockholm, Sweden and taking an overnight ferry to Helsinki or Turku and continuing to Joensuu by train or bus.
