"Ruisrock-festival" Turku Things to Do Tip by Turska

Ruisrock is the oldest rock-festival in Finland, and second oldest every year held rockfestival in whole Europe!
It´s held by the sea, and at good weather it is very lovely place. You can even go to swim there if you like. Because it´s close to sea, it can also e cold at night, so you may want to have long sleaves jacket or something with you.
In Finnish festivals it´s not allowed to bring alcohol, and in in Ruisrock they were very strickt about that. Police dog smelled your things also, just in case you have drugs.
But there are lots of places to buy alcohol if you like. And foodstands of course.
We have been here once, and liked it a lot. The one thing was cleanes. If you go to K-18 area (meaning agelimit is 18years) the toilets are cleaner even. But of course a heavy rain can spoil all the cleanes, and area became a mud park. We were lucky to have a sunny day :)

Address: Ruissalo
Directions: Take the festival-bus from Kauppatori market place. Ask locals, if you don´t find it.
