On foot
Hällä Stage is situated at the west end of the city’s main street, Hämeenkatu, between Keskustori Central Square and Hämeenpuisto Park. It’s a slight uphill walk from the square, and a slight downhill walk from the park, a block and a half either way.

When riding eastbound and down from Hämeenpuisto Park, stay on Hämeenkatu’s southside bike lane on the right. When riding westbound and up from Keskustori Square, you need to take the northside bike lane and then cross the street at Hämeenkatu & Kuninkaankatu. There’s a handily placed bike rack right in front of Hällä’s entrance between the bike lane and the sidewalk.
