Parking in the Port of Turku serves passengers

Parking in the Port of Turku is planned to serve the needs of passenger traffic. There are plenty of parking places in the vicinity of the terminals, which makes it easy to go on a trip. Those arriving by car should reserve enough time for arrival and parking to allow for an unhurried start of trip. Arriving the Port is easy, and it is recommended to check the entry routes in advance. Transfer to and from the terminal is taken into account in the parking charges. Daily parking charge covers 26 hours.

A map of parking places

Note! If you park in the Tallink Silja parking area (the purple area on the map), parking must be paid for using the area’s own parking payment machine or the EuroPark mobile app. The Port of Turku’s parking payment machines do not apply to this area.

Parking arrangements in the port area are currently undergoing changes due to the Ferry Terminal Turku and construction of the streets in the port area. An up-to-date map of the parking areas can be found on this page.

As the locations of parking areas and access routes have changed, a parking machine may not be located in the immediate vicinity of your parking space. We therefore recommend using mobile payment (Aimo Park, EasyPark, Moovy or ParkMan), which is currently the easiest and most reliable way to pay for parking. In the parking area along Kuljetuskatu, parking can only be paid for via a mobile application. Instructions for mobile payment can be found on this page.

We also recommend using the larger parking area along Kuljetuskatu, as the parking spaces next to the terminals are usually the first to become full.

Parking payment machines are being renewed at the Port of Turku passenger harbour

The parking payment machines at the Port of Turku passenger harbour are being renewed. During the renewal project, all existing payment machines will be out of service.

During the transition period, parking can only be paid for via mobile payment using parking applications. Instructions and more information about mobile payment can be found below.

Once the new machines have been introduced, they will primarily serve customers who are unable to pay for parking using a mobile application. Going forward, there will be two payment machines in the passenger harbour area, strategically located to provide convenient service for customers using both the Tallink Silja and Viking Line terminals.

The payment machines will serve all parking areas managed by the Port of Turku in the passenger harbour, regardless of where the vehicle is parked. Parking is paid for using the vehicle’s registration number, and parking enforcement is carried out electronically.

We thank our customers for their patience during the renewal work.

Turku Port Ltd has established terms and conditions governing parking in the passenger port parking area. By parking in the area, the customer accepts these terms and conditions, and parking in violation of them will result in a parking enforcement fee.

Parking in the passenger port parking area can be paid either by payment card at a payment machine or, alternatively, through standard parking applications. The choice of payment method is at the customer’s discretion. If the customer uses a parking application, the terms and conditions of that application shall apply.

From time to time, payment machines may experience disruptions, for example due to issues related to payment cards issued by different banks. In such situations, the customer must use either another payment card or a parking application. The unavailability of one payment method does not entitle the customer to park in the area free of charge. If the customer’s payment card does not work and the customer does not have access to a parking application, the customer must not park in the area.
