'''Coming from the center:''' follow the street called '''Kauppakatu''' (the name changes into '''Seminaarinkatu''' and then to '''Alvar Aallon katu'''). Turn left to '''Kramsunkatu'''. There's a bridge for pedestrians over '''Rantaväylä''' to the university campus. Don't cross the bridge but go down the small hill to the "shoulder", the side of the road, of Rantaväylä. Walk a bit closer to the traffic lights.
