Turkansaaari outdoor museum located on three islands upstream of Oulu River depicts Finnish historical country landscape and a beautiful natural environment.

It's on a beautiful island and lots of old stuff to see. You can also get in most buildings and really get an idea how it was. The English explanations were really short compared to the Finnish or sometimes even not there. Really weird and something they should improve

Nice museum where you can see how native people lived not so long ago.

Interesting folk museum east of Oulu. In summer you can rent canoes also. Learn a bit about the tar industry

Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful park. Worth seeing and exploring

Open style museum which tells the history of tar. Not bad for a day visit.

Might be a nice place to visit, but for tourists, it's almost never open. One could think it's open in the evenings as well, but no.

Has perhaps the oldest trees in Finland available for visiting and viewing. A great park in natural state.

This is relatively small nature park. Most of the trails have been fixed, so there are new duckboards and some parts have new gravel. Routes are overall easy and don’t require any special skills.

A great place to enjoy the nature! There is a picnic area in the middle and a nice lake.

Beatiful peacefully traveling place.

Wonderful place, pitch dark at night, no sounds, ideal for camping, hiking, or just to spend some time in forest

Beautiful place, takes about 4 hours to do the loop

The nature is very beautiful on the park and the trails are in good shape, easy walking. There is also a possibility to make a fire even during dry season. At least two toilets exists in the park area but one should bring their own toilet paper as there isn't any in the toilets.

i havent been before like amazing exhibiton , it is really good time travel. I recommend it to everybody who likes the plane and the history

Beautiful collections of military devices especially the old planes is very interesting

Great place to visit with kids – fun and educational! Located close to Jyväskylä with easy access via the highway, it's a convenient spot for a family outing. The place offers interesting learning experiences for children and adults alike. Parking is available, making the visit even more hassle-free.

One of the best aviation museums I've ever visited. The aircraft are amazingly well preserved, many in their original paint, rather than being restored with new parts. There are 4 cockpits you can sit in, with many parts still working. The cafe and gift shop are small. I was impressed to see a selection of relevant aircraft kits and decals in the shop.

This is a great museum offering detailed information about the history and development of the FInnish airforce. Owing to its location, it is best to get here by car. However, bus number 22 from the Jyvaskyla public transport takes you here. From the downtown of Jyvaskyla to the museum , the bus ride takes around 30 minutes.

Very cool museum with 40+ aircraft of all uses and sizes. This is accompanied ons of models and also very informative panels about the history of Finnish aviation including interesting backstories of the blue swastika and home-made planes Tiira. Another cool feature is that you can sit in real cockpits of two real fighter jets (just the cockpit part present in this case). Part of the exhibits are outside but most of the museum is hosted indoors.

Awesome place for the aviation nerd 🤣 Got two and a half SAAB J35 Drakens... the half being a front with a cockpit that you may sit inside (along MiG-21 too, so you can compare the east vs. west experience). The exposition is focused on Finnish air forces alone, and is very rich, extensive and well organised. Time very well spent!

Very basic, but fun kiddie park off the beaten path. The haunted house has some VERY cheeky characters :-)

An absolute paradise in the middle of ...nowhere :-)... Well, at least in the middle of the forest. Compared to several Finnish and European amusement parks, this is a genuine pearl. Safe, no worries that the kids will be lost, everybody very friendly. And, even the owner can be seen. True spirit. Some machinery may be quite old, but who cares, when everybody from age of one to early teens really enjoy. And for us 50+, this is a trip to the past. Highly recommended.

An old park with attractions for kids. Nothing fancy, expensive in relation with what you get there. Workers mostly uninterested and chatting in between themselves. Safety is under a big question

nice! But why?

This place is for kids only, no rides are designed with adults in mind. The "mörkömetsä" (spooky forest path) part of the park is laughably bad - the maps they hand out of it paint a picture of various funnily spooky locations, in reality what you will encounter are a few painted rocks, deteriorating plastic props and twigs. Incredibly corny. They advertise to have one of the largest retro arcades in Finland: in reality, only a handful of games are playable. If you are interested in the history of old slot machines and coin operated "payazzos" (pajatso, a traditional finnish gambling arcade game), they do have a dozen of these rare machines on display. Granted, there are a lot of rides, although most of them are really old. Free entry makes up for a lot of the shortcomings.

Nice small amusement park. Good for the price.

Cool place a bit dated but good fun

Visited on a wekend. colorful autumn flowers at the welcome entrance and staircase attracts the people of any age. Museum entrance and tower are free access. can view the scenic jyvaskyla region. restaurant facility available.

Amazing and quaint museum where you can see life sized animals, birds, fish, and insects. There was lots of information on each specimen, as well as geological information on the area and across the country. Information was primarily in Finnish, but Swedish and English translation sheets were also available for each exhibit. The museum was free entry and had a small gift shop.

Very nice museum. It's small, but has a very interesting collection of animals from the region and explains a lot about the area, also geologically. There is a nature photography exhibition now, which is absolutely impressive. Definitely a place to see when in Jyväskylä. The entrance was free, so no excuses! There is place to park your car right in front of the museum (free for three hours) and once you're there you can also stop at the cafe and buy souvenirs or walk around the hill overlooking the city.

The Museum acts more like a showroom than an actual museum, but that's not big of a problem. Just bear in mind that this place in my opinion is better for school groups with little children to learn about the finnish wildlife and geology than it is to tourists who want to learn a lot. It's not a big space, only a few rooms, but since it's admission free you should check it out if you have a free 30 minutes. You can also buy souvenirs at the entrance and they are not that expensive compared to other museums.

Amazing museum from Finnish culture and fauna history. Real scale animals from all over Finland with great explanation and pictures for top understanding. A free and very amazing place to visit, inserted in a natural park with great city landscape. Clearly an experience for foreings 👍🇫🇮

Free entrance museum, and must visit with family

Centrally located on the hill-top in the heart of Jyväskylä. Looking for calm and tranquility and at the same time being in the city centre? This is where you need to visit.

I'm not much of a museum person, but my Finnish wife thought this would be an interesting visit. I enjoyed it. Tickets were around 8 Euros a piece. They also had a lot of nice history with the outfits that people wore in the past as well as how they did linens and other things within the home. It took probably an hour to walk through and look at everything. A nice collection and it is displayed quite well.

I did not plan to go there, but it was an amazing experience I don't want to miss. The exhibitions are really interesting and the workshop is something special! And the shop sells very nice souvenirs.

Loved this little Aalto add-on. Definately recommend attending if you find yourself in the area.

Such great history on Finland. There are many interactive features for all I

Very disappointing, we went mainly for the temporary exhibition through the pinhole which seemed to have absolutely no relation to the online description had none of the things promised on it and turned out just to be a collection of photographs. The permanent exhibition was interesting if you are really into fabrics but had little information on the costumes,however the rooms are very dark to preserve the costumes and there is little attempt at interactivity also apparently the Sami do not exist in their world. There is the art museum which was rather wonderful just up the street from it which is highly recommended. (In reply to there reply) pretty much none of what you claim was available in your reply was there... I have no idea what you saw but it wasn't the same as we experienced

Very nice collection of handcrafted stuff. On Fridays free entry.

Lovely place to visit. Something for every sense, the permanent exhibition has a lovely showing of Finnish handicrafts throughout history in many ways. Make sure to look at the drawers near the floor. The changing exhibitions has also been awesome every time I've been there. Cheap for what you get and lots of Finnish design on sale in the gift.

Another amazing museum in Finland you have to visit. It’s beautifully made and arranged.

A must see museum if you travel to Jyväskylä, birth place of Alvar Aalto and Aino Aalto, legendary Finnish Architects!

Small but pretty informative, next to the Museum of Central Finland - one price to visit both.

Very comprehensive museum about Alvar Aalto ´s work. Could do with more information about Aino ´s and Elissa ´s work. The information about his works in the city are poorly indicated Highly recommend to attend the guided tour of the experimental house

Very interesting and nice museum if you want to know more about the great Finnish architect and designer Alvar Aalto. It also has other exhibitions like the history of Central Finland and Jyväskylä.

We were lucky enough to go the the Aalto museum on the opening day. This was an amazing experience with the new additions being a welcome connection. It was great to see all of the hand drawings and original works.

It's a museum dedicated to Alvar Aalto, and to be frank, I was maybe not interested enough to find this super exciting. However, if you are interested in architecture this is most probably something for You.

The place is beautiful, but be careful when driving there. The road signage is not very clear, and it’s easy to get lost. Make sure to follow the signs properly and avoid entering private properties by mistake.

Struve points are always located in such interesting places! The walk to reach it was a bit challenging but enjoyable

Beautiful place. Only the road to the start of the track is quite interesting - narrow and bent, with ups and downs, you have to be careful. The hiking track is well marked, the overall time from the start till the tower and then to the shore and back is about 2 hours. Be ready to sweat :)

Short and not much demanding hike to a viewpoint tower with an incredible view over lakes and islands.

The view is absolutely amazing, definitely worth hiking 1 km uphill.

Very nice walk up to the hill and wonderful views from the top, both in summer and winter!

The biggest mushrooms I've ever seen. View from the top nice, but hello, guys, this mushroom is as big as medium pizza!

4,1 km nature circular trail. Follow blue and red marks and enjoy!

(Translated by Google) The parking lot is unclearly signposted. Located at Sorolantie 28, where the hiking trails officially start. Good signs in the parking lot. Observation tower address: Sorolantie 28 (Original) Pysäköintialue on epäselvästi viitoitettu. Sijaitsee osoitteessa Sorolantie 28, josta vaelluspolut virallisesti lähtevät.

(Translated by Google) Well, it's difficult to judge a little path that winds through the woods along the lake (Original) Mah difficile giudicare un sentierino che si snoda nel bosco costeggiando il lago

Lovely food and good coffee

Wonderful - worth a detour. Family owned winery, cafe, restaurant in a beautiful setting in the middle of stunning countryside. Try their ciders and beers!

Lovely place with a good cafe, brilliant shop for produce and their own drinks (ciders, wines, bubbles, local brews...) and just a wonderful estate

Nice place to have a special local cider

Delicious wine and wonderful service :)

Very nice services 👍 recommend

(Translated by Google) Although the place is a bit expensive, it's nice to visit once or twice in the summer 🫶 So it's not worth going there when you're hungry. This year there were bunnies in the backyard who liked the dandelions very much. Downstairs, you can also bring guests with you! (Original) Vaikka paikka on vähän tyyris, on se kiva kerran tai pari kesässä käydä 🫶 Nälässä ei siis kannata mennä. Tänä vuonna takapihalla oli pupuja joille maistui hyvin voikukat.

Many peaceful walking routes zigzag in the beautiful canal area. Restaurant and cafe services are located nearby.

Beautiful place, perfect for summer walks or picnic

Beautiful place. Nice to walk trere.

walk along the channel

(Translated by Google) What could be more beautiful than Matkaparkki next to the Vääksy canal. Even when spring blossomed and bloomed pale green. The travel park was right next to the children's playground, and from there it was about 200 meters to the canal. Nature looked its best, the weather was absolutely wonderful, temperature over 20 degrees. It was about 100 meters to the toilet facilities, there was also a disabled toilet in the building, the funniest thing was the same phenomenon as in so many disabled toilets, the mirror, there it was high compared to the high chair, otherwise the disabled toilet was good, the door was a bit heavy. On the first afternoon in the canal for ice cream, there was a Marine Guard boat or boat etc. in the canal waiting for the water to rise. On the second day, we walked the nature trail until it turned into pine trees. It didn't bother me at all, the flower was very bright and there were several trout fish. Fishing was prohibited in the area, because they would have caught it by chance. Walking and exercise came when we walked along the wide and so beautiful path along the canal. We arrived at Päjännejärvi and admired the boats that were in the harbor on the other side. I definitely recommend this travel park, it is a gem for the diversity and beauty of nature. T. Pirkitta Hyvönen (Original) Mikä voisikaan olla kauniimpaa kuin Matkaparkki Vääksyn kanavan vierellä. Vielä kun kevät kukki ja kukoisti vaaleanvihreänä. Matkaparkki oli aivan lasten leikkipuiston vieressä, ja siitä kanavalle oli matkaa noin 200 metriä. Luonto näytti parastaan keli oli oli aivan ihana, lämpöä yli 20 asteen. Wc tiloihin oli matkaa noin 100mettiä, myös esteetön invawc oli rakennuksessa, hauskinta siinä oli jälleen se sama ilmiö kuin niin monessa invawc:ssä peili, siellä se kökötti korkealla p- tuoliin nähden, muuten inva wc oli hyvä, ovi hiukan painava. Ensimmäisenä iltapäivällä käydessä kanavalla jäätelöllä, oli Merivartioston paatti vai vene tms kanavassa odottamassa veden nousua. Toisena päivänä kuljimme luontopolkua siihen asti, kunnes se muuttuikin pitkospuiksi. Ei se haitannut yhtään siinä kukki kovin rentukoita ja taimenkaloja näkyi useita. Alueella oli kalastus kielletty, nehän olisi jo haavilla siitä napannut. Kävelyä ja liikuntaa tuli ,kun kävelimme noh p-tuolilla minä niin kanavan varrella ollutta leveää ja niin kaunista polkua pitkin. Saavuimme Päjännejärvelle ja ihastelimme veneitä, joita vastapuolen satamassa oli. Suosittelen ehdottomasti tätä matkaparkkia se on helmi luonnon moninaisuuden ja kauneuden puolesta. T.Pirkitta Hyvönen

(Translated by Google) 2.7. the channel has Mobilisti days every summer. Reasonable food and drink and toilet queues. I only wished that the nice cars could have been driven directly to the bank of the canal. There would have been more cars on the beach if the orderlies would have driven the cars forward and not have to fumble by reversing. (Original) 2.7. kanavalla on joka kesäiset Mobilisti päivät. Syötävä ja juotava sekä wc jonot kohtuulliset. Olisi vain toivonut, että hienot autot olisi saanut heti ajaa suoraan kanavan rantaan. Rantaan olisi saanut enemmänkin autoja, jos järjestysmiehet olisivat ajattaneet autot etuperin eikä peruutamalla olisi pitänyt veivata.

(Translated by Google) Nice and lively place, good services around the canal. (Original) Nätti ja vilkas paikka, hyvin palveluita kanavan ympäristössä.

That's just a great place for all kind of sport and recreational activities. In a walking distance you have all you need. Running indoors and outdoor, cross-country skiing, widr range of tracks for beginners and pros. Would wish that tracks are clean, I got bad scratches on my skis. Tried gym and circuit training area, running loop, swimming pool. Classes for students are good and modern. Conference rooms are good. Restaurants are good quality both cheaper and more pricy. Good pub for evening. Sleep in Fennada is of good quality. Room service need improvement, towels not changed, coffee mugs were dirty when arrived. But generally clean, has a drying locker.

Visited during autumn holiday. Finding the activities was horrendous. Web pages partly wrong, no signs, nobody to ask. The coaches were nice but they had absolutely no idea on customer value basics, and no willingness to receive feedback. Example: archery. We were told to come to a lobby of a certain building where the instructor would fetch us. Name of the building was wrong in the net and there were several lobbies. At one minute to due time nobody around. They had the participant list so they knew whom to expect. Finally found the group in a dark building 15 min late. After the class the instructor ran away to avoid feedback. You really need to work on this!

Good place to plan few days holiday for sport events. A lot of different options for all aged people throughout the year. I had been for 1 summer day and it became memorable one. Good for large groups and families. Resort offers food services according to the requirements. Its 132km far from Helsinki but really close to the nature. I recommend it.

Very good crosscountryski ( Loipe) trails ( difficult with hills, middle, easy. every morning fresh made...huge sledge hill🛷, a lot of other sportactivities possible :swimming, gym,skating, in Summer Golf, a lot of Tenniscourts outside, walking at the lakes, beachsauna, climbing Trail , and and.... Our holidayhouse had a fireplace, Sauna, barbeque Grill outside...we were happy there....we ate sometimes in the Restaurant Puhti Buffet next to the Hotel Fennada in Vierumäki.

Nice place to enjoy wintersports, although it is quite expensive overall. We had a nice cottage, fully equipped, sports facilities top notch. Rental prices for equipment are fair depending on the sports you choose. Curling for example is very expensive. Discovered new sports of Padel and used snow shoes for the first time. Everyone will find something they will enjoy here. Food on the premises is also of very high quality. Lunches in the cafe are very price worthy.

The best sport institute in Finland or the whole world. Everything within walking distance. For example, two ice rinks, two golf courses, soccer court, tennis courts, padel, gym, functional gym, courts for many indoor sports, plenty of outdoor sports, beach volleyball, frisbee golf, swimming hall and spa, premium hotel and other accommodation options, great restaurants, great staff and much more.

Large and incredible sport Village whee you can find all kind of sports! There restaurants, bars, and hotels. It is surrounded by forests and lakes! Just a paradise

I gotta say, it surely is a cute little collection of mostly well kept bikes, but. What I'm struggling with, is the price of such a small collection, and with very little information about their history. I would appreciate more informative signs to read. It really isn't worth of the current price (12€) Maybe a bit cheaper ticket would also encourage people to try it out?

Very small, but well kept museum. Two rooms + one exhibition room (for Honda bikes for the time being). Enjoyed it even for a pretty hefty price (14e).

Visited 5 years ago, and decided to return again, an excellent collection of motorcycles in a beautifully laid out and thoughtful arrangement, to anyone with the slightest interest please go! In addition the food was excellent!

Very nice place. Yearly changing exhibitions. About 100 bikes, this year Honda 120. Staff also friendly.

The bikes are unique, but an entrance fee of 12 Euros makes it somewhat questionable. It's not out of this world and staff mimics American culture. Good music.

Very good place with rare motorcycles. At the entrance we were welcomed by the collection owner!

Very interesting museum with several rare bikes + super friendly owner and staff and nice cup of coffee in museum cafe. Highly recommended!

Great music hall with superb acoustics and relatively cheap café.

Wonderful place, professional staff, wonderful food and a breath taking view of this magnificent wooden construction. We had a wonderful time.

This is the official venue of the annual Sibelius music festival held at Lahti Finland

nice place for car meeting

Beautiful theatre. Staff were lovely and clockroom and drinks all decently priced.

This is the most magnificent concert hall in the world and the Lahti Symphony Orchestra are HIGHLY underrated. A beautiful setting on the docks at Lake Vesijarvi in Lahti City, Finland. The only other concert hall with perhaps as good a setting is the Sydney Opera House in Sydney Harbour Australia, but I prefer Sibelius Hall. This was the view from the steps outside the hall on the evening of Thursday 17th May 2018.

Impressive timber structure for contemporary architecture.

Small musem that gets out everything of the different ski sports thats possible. Nice exhibitions through the history of cross-country, biathlon, ski-jumping or snowboarding and a ski-jumping simulator and laser pistol and biatlon riffle shooting also included. Worth to see when you are at the sports centre in Lahti!

Interesting but quite small place. Aimed at people of all ages. Lots of interaction and games for kids and like minded people. Just wishes there were more sports memorabilia.

Very interesting place about the ski history of Finland. On of the most interesting part is activities such as virtual ski jumping and biathlon shooting (I really wanted to just to stay there :)) It would be great if audio guide will be added to the first floor as well. And the audio guide on the basement would be a bit shorter, because it's a bit difficult to consume such amount of information

Best place in Europe to watch ski jumping. Hills put completely in nature ever so close to city center.

Nice place. Great to be for Ski events. Places to visit with kids. Skijumpsimulator! Funny. Have fire place to grill!

Place with Wintersport history - we stopped there for lunch which was served as buffet and was delicious.

Very Modern museum, giving some history about skiing in general and of cause the finish sports. And a bit of fun in the ski jump simulator and shooting Simulator, nice idee. But from my point of view the entrance fee is a bit to high for the size of the museum, maybe for somebody who is more into Finnish winter sports legends it is more worth it.

We have a great day

Nothing interesting there. I did´t like the place.

An interesting place. You ma see and compare various jumping towers and old style jumping slopes.

Thats what I call a sport area

So much fun! Loved swimming here, sauna is lovely too. The pool is massive. Flotation devices available for you to use. Not too crowded.

The sports center is the strong point of the city of Lahti and has been home to several Nordic World Ski Championships. At the foot of the highest skijump structure there is a swimming pool that can be used in summer. It is also possible to visit the ski museum.

Best xcski place in the world

Easy parking, short hike but lots of stairs and rocky ground. We went after a few days of rain so lots of muddy spots and bugs. Bring bug repellent. The views were beautiful. I would like it again. 4€ a family

An area well curated and preserved. Best visited when it has not been raining - some rocks that formed those glacial shapes will be visible at the bottom.

A very beautiful place – I highly recommend it 100%! Don’t just follow the marked points on the map, but also take the trails marked with blue ribbons, both along the mountain ridge and down below. From the bottom, you’ll get an impressive view of the cliffs.

Really breathtaking place. The biggest sinkhole is one of the largest in the whole world. 4mx10.5m. Extraordinary place that it's a must visit. This location would need little bit care and a better campfire place, like a hut. This one that there is now, it is not so good. It gets wet easily and it's hard to grill in the winter. Not suitable for wheelchairs.

There is an honest system to pay €2 each. I’d bring some cash. You can do a loop walk around the area, down by the river and up around the rocks.

Potholes are on the steep of a cliff, you can look at all of them in 15 minutes time. The path to the potholes is through the wood on the back of the cliffs, marked with blue ribbons, and it takes about 10 minutes. The parking lot is easy to reach and wide enough.

A very nice little treck in beautifull natural surroundings. The views from the hillside and the deep round holes cut directly in to the rocks by nature are amazing. Many of the holes are full of water in the winter so their depth is not so apparent. Visitors with little children be advised that kids need constant supervision, however the hike itself is not challenging and there are good railings and sturdy stairs to aid visits with even small children. I would reccomend this as a very nice place to take in the outdoors.

Lots of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and coffee-shops to easily spend your day.Good and spacious inside carparks. Visit and enjoy like we do quite often !;))

A one stop shopping centre for most of your home needs. From restaurants to pharmacy, specs shop, clothing and DNA phone provider, just to name a few. Likely also homing the nicest cafe in Hyvinkkää town, Kulmakonditoria. Parking is plenty of going by car. And it's easy to get to from the train station. Just one warning, personally found the mall a bit confusing to navigate particularly getting to/from the back side of it.

Beautiful big shopping center with very standard mall brands. Nice place to hangout or to do the shopping. Quite big that even both Prisma and K- Citymarket both situated together. H&M, Gina Tricot and New Yorker etc cheaper fast fashion retailers available, and better premium brands such as Guess also situated here.

I love this place, especially vintage shop~! there is a lot of stuff and can find good products well :D also employees are kind. I go there quite often :D. I hope a lot of people know about that store. also I hope the store will be very active~!!!

Only bigger problem is that there is no info about the store and restaurants location. You don't find what you need.

I love better then itis.

It is an ok mall, but the layout is confusing.

Great view over the history of the Finnish railways. Many old locomotives to see. There's also a cafe outside with a possibility to hop on a small train that rides around the park area during the summer time and when it is dry.

Great half-day trip from Helsinki! The Finnish Railway Museum is perfect for families with kids. The miniature train ride in the garden is a highlight. There’s also a fun indoor play area with wooden train sets, drawing corners, and even a real locomotive they can climb into. The museum is just a 10-minute walk from Hyvinkää train station, making it super easy to reach from Helsinki. The museum grounds are spacious, with well-preserved station buildings and outdoor displays that feel like walking through a piece of history. A most to-do if you’re in Uusimaa.

Great museum with unexpectedly beautiful and nice renovated trains. The condition of the locomotives are very good and during my visit there was some outdoor event as well with some modern trains and a running locomotive. It was great to visit and just around the corner from where I was living.

Great collection of historic trains. Several free entrance days, worth watching out for. Some days in the summer of steam trains running... But many more days a diesel is running. The park "ride on" train is nice, a 3min lap of the grounds for 1euro each. (Only runs in the summer)

The museum located in an old locomotive depot. A lot of rare trains as steam locomotive's. Very nice place!

I really enjoyed my visit thanks to the plurality of trains exhibited there. Despite the fact that the big hall is not heated, it was really pleasant being able to go really close to all sort of trains, and even to take look into the inside from the windows. The only negative point is that a big part of the presentation signs are only written in finnish and not translated.

One of the most interesting museums in Finland. The Uusimaa area is full of quirky modern art museums so it’s exciting to visit a history themed one that provides insight into the development of not only railway but also technology and the entire country as a whole. The museum’s premise is large, with many things to see and experience.

Located in the heart of Porvoo, this small cathedral features simple architecture and a calm atmosphere. The second floor is closed to visitors, yet the main hall still feels welcoming. At the entrance you can pick up postcards and other souvenirs, selecting the design or author you like, with an offer of your choice. I suggest visiting at least once.

Built in the 15th century with some parts from the 13th century, this is a small church in a quaint town with lots of history. If you're staying in Helsinki, I'm not sure it's worth the drive, but I am glad I went and got to see Porvoo.

A great 13th century rustic cathedral serving both the locsl Sw3dish and Finnisjh communities, with a commanding view of the surrounding settlement in Porvoo, about an hr from Helsinki central, overlooking a nice small river

The five stars are mostly for the great lecture we got from one of the volunteers. The lecture/tour seems to happen every hour or so at request. Strongly recommend doing it as it reveals so many interesting aspects of this historic building.

The church was probably finished in 1418, altough this is speculative. Making in One of the nations oldest, located in the heart of Old Porvoo.

Was closed for renovations, but outside was fantastic

Quaint church on top of a hill. Built in the 15th century with some parts from the 13th century. The church is small. There's a small table with souvenirs on the honor system.

Charming bed and breakfast spot in Porvoo. A shame we only stayed one night but the accomodations were cozy and inviting. The room we stayed in had a kitchen as well as a spacious living room. The living room had a nice view of the river. It was in the center of the town and easily accessible to the old and newer areas of Povoo. This would be a nice place for summer trip with the family.

Very cute B&B along the river in Porvoo, Finland. I stayed in the Star Room, which is a bit separated from the main property. Owner knocked on the door as I arrived. He apparently also owns the nearby restaurant Ranta-aitta, which had its commissary and bathrooms across from the property. Be aware this property and its windows all face an alley that will have fairly heavy foot traffic in the afternoon/evening hours because of the restaurant. I immediately drew all the blinds when I entered the unit. Other than that privacy inconvenience, the location is fantastic, right on the main strip of the old town of Porvoo. Inside the unit you have a nicely functional kitchen and washer/dryer (which I used and was very convenient). There's two bathrooms, one with a shower and one without. Shower is a bit small and confining, but solid. The chairs in the kitchen were not super comfortable and the wifi didn't reach the bedroom very well, so if you need to do something online for a decent amount of time the unit isn't the most ergonomic solution for this situation. There is a piano in the unit! I did not play or know if it was actually encouraged but it's something to consider. There is access to a sauna that's across the street from the main property, which I used. Its heat doesn't get much higher than 60-70ºC but with plentiful water you can get enough steam for a good sweat. Breakfast was solid.

We (two adults) stayed at Ida-Maria in Jan/2021 for two nights in ”Pieni huoneisto, puutarhanäkymä”. The room was lovely, cozy and clean. Delicious breakfast and very good service! All of this in the heart of Porvoo Old Town. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.

Beautiful river view from our bedroom. Fantastic breakfast in the red historic houses on the river. We had a great time, thank you!

If you like old-fashioned Finnish places, this is just perfect. Nice clean place to stay. Excellent service.

Everything is pretty good here! Only the pillow is a bit uncomfortable. But the location is great. My favorite is breakfast and sauna. Definitely recommended.

Peaceful place to stay overnight in the old city center, simple yet very good breakfast, small garden where you can eat breakfast and enjoy blossoming plants.

I shouldn't go here because I always find something to buy. Their chocolate and licorice are very tasty and good.

Very delicious, the mousse inside the chocolate is very special.

This chocolate shop sits right in the center of Porvoo and showcases the town’s own local brand. Inside you will find a huge range of options, from single bars to large mixed boxes perfect for gifts. The variety makes it easy to pick up something for yourself or bring a few treats home for friends. A must-stop for chocolate lovers visiting Porvoo.

Awesome chocolate products. Some pralines you can taste before you purchase any, which is great! Always crowded and busy but that's fine.

Delicious chocolate store with lots of samples and gluten free, lactose free, sugar free vegan chocolate

Nice chocolate shop. Very old. Not too big. But nothing is too big in Porvoo. Quiet village. Prices standard for northern countries (little bit expensive).

Better than promised. Wide variety of delicious and smooth chocolate. Orange is wonderful.

Please with this. The garden is beautiful and the place itself is a walk into a history book. The building itself is stunning and the rooms nicely kept. You can see a lot of the old ornaments and catch a glimpse of the of how people lived during this period. The garden is stunning and well kept. The cafe is also a nice place to hang out and walk around.

Very interesting home museum of the Finnish national composer Jean Sibelius.

After seen Sibelius Monument in Helsinki, it's just natural that one wants to see Ainola, the home of Jean and Aino Sibelius where they lived some half a century and which is now open for visitors as a home museum. The ticket price is 16 euro (summer25) which sounds a bit expensive if we think that the entrance costs to Kiasma, Ateneum and other big museums in Helsinki some 20 euroa. But maybe the ticket price doesn't matter so much if one is really interested in life of Finland's most famous composer.

A visit to Ainola had long been on my bucket list, so I arrived with high expectations. It's easy to see how the last 20 years or so of Sibalius' productive career, could have been influenced by such a stunning place. Today, the environment is a little spoiled by the proximity of a trunk road. But the house and gardens are unchanged since those days past, and you will appreciate the beauty and calm they install within you.

Beautiful house and gardens. Highly recommend taking the time to visit the 'temple', the route is absolutely stunning.

Really nice buildings and park. The interior and art collection are great. And the sauna! Worth visiting even if Sibelius is not your thing!

Home of Jean and Aino Sibelius, a very interesting history. A real home, did they say 99 ashtrays....he smoked cigars.

Very small, like 3 rooms. Interesting but not worth the price

The staff here is incredibly warm! They gave us brief info about Runenberg, his family and house. While leaving we asked about one exhibit and they explained it to us. The living room was decorated for Christmas! We liked all rooms except the room with killed foxes... For vegans it's very hard to see and enjoy. From giftshop we got nice Runenberg cake magnet and baking form. Thank you!

I visited Old Porvoo and decided I wanted to visit also at least one museum. Runeberg’s house seemed like a good choice. The museum is maintained pretty well, both indoors but also outside, the garden. The entrance is free if you have a museum card or are under 18, otherwise 8/6€. The staff is very friendly and polite. If you’re interested they give you a small tour with pretty interesting facts about the Runeberg family. The staff speak Finnish, Swedish and English. And maybe even more languages. At the room next to the register there is an interactive space, where both kids and adults can have fun. You can take photos pretending to drink tea, set up the table and lots more. Hint: buy some of their coffee. The flavor is great and it also makes a great gift. A huge thanks to the staff for the lovely visit.

The house was a fast visit since we arrived there 15 minutes before closing time. I have Museum Card so I was able to visit with no fee so I walked it around. There would have been a binder where no read about the place more but I decided just to look around. The Fledrika's historical (free) garden was beautiful and had a lot of different species.

Beautiful place with interesting history. They give you a guide book at entrance which contains all the information you need. The entrance fee is 8 euros for adults and 6 euros for students or pensioners.

When you are visiting Porvoo and you have spare time (while waiting for your bus back to Helsinki), the place that you should visit. There are two Runeberg museums: Finland's national Poet, Johan L. Runeberg (Father) and a famous sculptor Walter Runeberg (Son). I paid the entrance fee for 8€ for both museums and spent 40 mins in total. The museum is very near the city square and the regional bus stop.

Good, although brief experience. Interesting look into the life of Finland's national poet in his home that's maintained in its original state.

Special spot. Cycling paths are great too

Very nice place. YOU CAN CAN SWIM IF YOU WANT. BUT THERE IS NO PLACE FOR DRESS CHANGE. You can grill here. Nice place.

Such a relaxing place 💙

The best place in the word!

One of the amazing place to relax, swim and kayaking.

Perfect and quiet place to relax, not much food options though

Here the soul rest. Get on the lake, but not under. It is supposed to be really unclean.

A stunning location and a truly wonderful wooden house. The view to the lake is just fantastic. Very disappointed though to find that inside the house they did not have many works of Halonen on display but instead lots of paintings and works from other Finnish artists painted whilst they had been in France. I visited hoping to specifically see and learn about the person who had lived in the house. I am not sure if I would have wished to pay the rather expensive entrance fee to see works from artists who are already on display in large museums in Helsinki.

Amazing place on the lake Tuusula. If you looking for some peace and quiet, extraordinary views - you can find it here!

A superb artist house museum that contains all the original furnishing (unlike Ahola). The changing exhibition was filled with stars and great artworka.

It is a great museum with fantastic paintings and views. Worth to visit

Beautiful place, wouldn't have minded staying a bit longer. Great artworks and architecture. It was very hot inside though due to sun all day and the house being black 😁.

Lovely piece of Finnish history. Pekka Halonen’s atelier home is gorgeus and offers art exhibitions with different themes fron Finnish Art Golden Age 1880-1930 throughout the year.

I need to visit this place every summer. A cozy, lovely place , makes one never want to leave.

We had a fantastic time at the Heureka Science Museum! It’s the perfect spot for both kids and adults who love to explore, discover, and get hands-on with science. The exhibitions are interactive, creative, and beautifully designed to make learning fun and engaging. Our favorites were ice age exhibitions and the outdoor science park, which added an extra layer of excitement. Everything is well-organized, and most exhibits are available in multiple languages, including English and Finnish. Highly recommended for families, tourists, and anyone who enjoys a day full of curiosity and wonder!

Space exhibition was definitely worth a visit. My first visit to Heureka was over 30 years ago, but it still keeps surprising and the exhibitions are always interesting. Ice age moving mammoths and other animals were also interesting as usually you only experiment those as still standing setups. Visited it this on a regular Sunday, but might be interesting to visit during the themed NOX evening, when whole place is K18 and specific themed program is available as well.

Very nice and well executed science museum full of varied exhibits and demonstrations that take place throughout the day. The Ice Age animal exhibition was my favorite and my son really loved getting to build and test his own race car. This is a great way to spend several hours either the family! And the cafe has excellent food as well.

You can't but tickets online the same day, this is kind of strange. The parking is on the other side on the railroad – another oddity. The science center is huge and impressive though. Went here with two kids : 5 and 2.5. The older one was excited to try everything, however the most interesting things require 140cm of height and were unavailable for him. The small one was scared of the ice age animals but otherwise liked the museum. The cafe is extremely expensive, the buffet is mediocre. I'd recommend this place for 10+

Went there with 2 kids, aged 6 and 8. The kids were just the perfect age. They tested everything. We spent the all day there. Conveniently 5 minutes walk from Tikkurila station

Heureka is one of the must visit place in Vantaa. They havr variety of things(especially science and technology) to do and to see especially with kids, many creative, active, imaginative activities are available. But this tike they hace something special. The Ice Age Era which you can see a lot of animals from ice age, 14.000 years ago. They have some explanation about the animal, what happened to them and many more. You can see how big they are omgggg. They have a space which they train some rats to do some interesting activities, a section to know what blind people feel, a plac

Amazing, another place you have to visit, from ice age to space and basic science to be experienced.

Fun experience, though it isn't huge inside so do not expect an "all day visit" so of thing. The ice maze was cool, no pun intended. The dogs were really sweet and playful. I did not pay for one of dog sled rides but did get to interact with them and pet them.

Nice place to visit. Big hall with different activities (ski, husky experience, ice bar, iglo, ...) we went with a big group of colleagues and made a lot of fun. Very friendly service. Loved it!

For the price you are paying for the entrance it's overpriced and not much of activities to do there. 1 ice slide and no hills at all to use the slays or ski. You won't spend there more than 20-30 min. Vodka shot is nice, but you only can get vodka from that ice bar, nothing else, would be nice if they actually had more drinks to offer. Not satisfied...

Great idea and lovely people working there BUT the sounds of the dogs barking/crying ruined my experience. Those poor animals, they obviously aren't happy there. Would have enjoyed myself a lot more if there weren't dog slaves.

Beautiful, lots of new ce activities only thing I didn't like is poot dog's that are forced to run skii for all the visitors all day

All the season's Winter! Outside Summer but inside the typical Lapponian weather

Not a big place. Uninspiring. A disappointment.

I went to Itäkeskus for their foods in their Kauppahalli and the foods were excellent. Great food price ratio with Chicken Gyros and the Strawberry Foam Matcha is spectacular. Unfortunately the Dubai Chocolate Icecream hit under the mark. There just wasn’t the dubai chocolate Wow-factor within it. Very basic or too basic recipe with nothing extra, which dubai chocolate has. Just ordinary chocolate sauce, green sauce that I’m not sure if it’s pistachio and kunef which all of them is too little compared to the soft serve’s amount

I recently visited Rituals Itakeskus and bought The Ritual of Jing Mini Fragrance Sticks Diffuser — it’s absolutely wonderful! The scent truly brings a sense of inner peace and calm to my home. 🌸 The store itself has such a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere — soft lighting, soothing fragrances, and a beautifully organized layout. The staff were also very kind and helpful, offering great advice on different collections and helping me choose the perfect product. Every visit feels like a little escape from the busy mall. I’ll definitely come back to explore more of their products. Highly recommend for anyone looking to bring more calm and balance into their daily life.

Today around 17:50, a clearly intoxicated and socially unstable individual, with a bottle of alcohol in his pocket, approached and started yelling at my 1-month-old baby who was peacefully sleeping in a stroller near the tables by McDonald’s (next to the escalator). As a result, the baby has been crying for hours and cannot calm down. This experience was extremely upsetting and left a very negative impression of the shopping center. I strongly do not recommend visiting this place with children — it clearly lacks proper security and family-friendly atmosphere.

Big and bright mall. I was surprised at how bright this mall is compared to other malls in Helsinki. Very easy to navigate although it has many shops and eating places.

My current rating are 3 stars only. Itis is currently undergoing a major renovation. Many stores are closed and the mall currently has a bit of a construction site feel. Had I known this before, I would have chosen not to visit. I'll be returning after the renovation is complete for an updated review. Plus points for the fact that at least on one of the parking sections, still 5 hours free parking is available. However, I do not recommend to park on the deck that is on the Stockmann side. The way down is extremely narrow and I had trouble to leave due to it being so tight. I am an experienced and confident driver, I usually don't encounter such situations. The guidance towards the exit lane is so tight and the curve is so sharp that I was worried I'd scratch my car. I had to maneuver quite a bit to get out unharmed. I haven't had this problem in any other parking sections in Itis.

Itis Shopping Center is an exceptional shopping destination in Helsinki, standing out with its unique shops among popular brands. The mall is easily accessible, boasting free parking and good public transport links. Despite its size, a stroll around the various stores, including groceries and household items, will soon have you navigating it with ease. Plus, there are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops perfect for socializing or a relaxing break. With ongoing renovations, the interior may seem a bit dark, but the lively atmosphere keeps the spirit upbeat. In essence, Itis is a clean, well-organized shopping haven, inviting you back for more enjoyable experiences.

Good place, you got everything you need, really pretty and quite easy to navigate. Outside area is filled with smokers and has a lingering tobacco smell but itis overall is a nice place.
