The car park of the Officer’s club at Niskapietiläntie 29, 55910 Imatra (photo 1) is available for museum visitors. Visitors are kindly asked to park their cars primarily in the parking spaces on the right side of the yard, in order to provide sufficient space for possible buses to turn around in the yard.
There is an approximately 300-meter-walk from the car park to the garrison gate, where the museum guide or other member of the Border Guard staff will meet the visitors. It is also possible to drive your car in front of the gate, but the space is limited due to construction work.
The gate is located at Niskapietiläntie 32, 55910 Imatra (address of the Officer’s club).
- Please note that some navigation systems may direct you about 50–100 meters past the correct intersection.
When the road turns sharply to the right (see photo 2), turn left at the bend toward the garrison gate (see photo 3).
