Ice skated in the lake with a layer of thin snow and thick ice, very nice 🙌🙌

The smoke saunas are truly authentic, and we met plenty of locals while we were there, which is always a good sign. It is very easy to reach by public transport and also makes the perfect stop after a hike on one of the many beautiful nearby trails. Practical tip: Bring your flip-flops and shower gel, though both are available for purchase on site. You can also rent towels if needed. A word about timing: The smoke sauna opens at 2 pm, and the temperature gradually drops throughout the day. Because it is heated in the traditional way, there is no thermostat, so the temperature cannot be controlled or predicted precisely. Early in the day, around 3 pm, it can reach up to 135°C (275°F), which most people would find far too intense. By the end of the day, it may drop to around 50°C (122°F), which could feel a bit too mild. From what we gathered, the sweet spot tends to be between 4 and 7 pm for most people, but it really depends on the day. If the smoke sauna happens to be too hot or not hot enough during your visit, the electric saunas in the main building are excellent. There are two for men, and we assume there are also two for women. Each one has its own character and charm. They are designed in an authentic Finnish way and offer a great alternative or complement to the smoke sauna. Important to know: Swimsuits are required in the smoke sauna and in all outdoor areas, including when cooling down in the lake. In the electric gender-separated saunas, however, you are not supposed to wear anything and are expected to use a seat pad. We went in naked, but we did notice that even some locals kept their swimsuits on, so it seems you are free to wear whatever makes you most comfortable. The lake itself is lovely. It has a few clearly marked very shallow areas, ideal for children or anyone who prefers not to go too deep. But most of the lake is deeper, especially by the wooden deck, reaching about three to four metres, which is perfect for a proper swim. At just €16, it is truly excellent value. While visits are technically limited to two hours, the atmosphere is relaxed. No one is watching the clock, and you will not be rushed out if you stay a little longer. There is also a cosy café serving tasty food and drinks, which makes a perfect way to wind down after your sauna session.

I stay around 6kms away from this place. It’s just two months since I landed in Finland and this place has already attracted me so much. I have been to this place twice so far. I take a walk on the side of the woods, take the 1.8 kms lake circle walk, feel the fresh chill breeze, journal for sometime. I love the tranquility and calmness of this place. The nature at its best. There is a proper swimming partition on one side of the lake and there are free saunas available. You can see lots of people taking bath even in end of autumn and beginning of winter. When you visit here plan to spend some good amount of time. There is also a grill available outside on the other side, so if you wanna have some grills and enjoy the nature, its a perfect place.

One of the best Sauna I've ever been. I'll definitely come back one day.

Beautiful natural park where you can swimming, jogging or go sauna. There is also restaurant where you can buy drinks and food. Recommend to visit in summer time.

I simply love this place - lake, the forest path and it's easy to come by bike here, cause of the straight asphalt road heading here. Grilling and swimming are always a big plus. PS If you do not tired you can explorer in the Sipoo National Park at the same shoot!

Awesome swimming spot in summer plus great hiking trails around the park

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.

The wonderful adventure even if you didn't understand what design means. 😄 Visit EMMA and learn! You're worth it. Absolutely great collection of art and design.

Our favourite museum in Espoo 🙂 We are coming here quite frequently, not only to check the new exhibitions, but also to spend time. It became a mandatory stop during the walk around Tapiola-Westend. It’s a cozy, at the same time quiet big modern art museum in a walking distance from the Tapiola metro station. There are two floors, and multiple separate exhibitions of different artists, both Finnish and foreign, that are changed regularly. Mostly we like them, but lately it became too modern and lucking some elegance and technique in my opinion. It’s a pity that permanent exhibition about Espoo city was removed. It was an interesting one and informative, and there were no other alternatives to it in other museums, at least not that I know about. On Fridays it’s free admission and the museum is open until 19.

EMMA was an interesting and enjoyable experience. It’s great to see so many Finnish artists represented, especially those who are usually underrepresented elsewhere. If you have a couple of hours to spare, I would definitely recommend visiting. The atmosphere was very relaxed, not crowded at all when I went, which made it easy to take your time and really enjoy the art. Entry is €20 per person unless you are under 29, in which case it is cheaper. Overall, a very chill and worthwhile place to explore.

Very nice contemporary museum. Little far from the Tapiola Metro Station like 15 min walk. Glad to see inside of WeeGee too.

Having previously visited the Helsinki Museum of Modern Art, I'd definitely recommend the Espoo museum instead. It's a large museum with a good balance of art to floor space, with multiple interesting exhibitions, and a good range of performance pieces, physically objects, and paintings. I especially enjoyed the exhibition exploring the security company Securitas! Entry is free on Fridays after 5pm so I would absolutely recommend a visit!

One of my two favourite art museums in the metropolitan area. I'm not always that much into the themes of the exhibitions, but it certainly opens up my perspective a little. It's very varied - during one visit you can see everything from textiles and glasswork, through critical and conceptual art, to illustration from children books.

We want there last Friday (3rd March 2022) and it was my first time visiting EMMA. I love this place so much as they have many art that combine technology, architecture, furniture design, ceramics, and many more things. We spend time there for 3-4 hours and try to impress each art as much as we can. If you love technology, mechanics, arts, and you may study or work in tech and engineering, you may love this museum like me 🙂 it's easy to impress and understand these arts 10/10 and recommended!!!

It's lovely to have a big museum area in Espoo. The displays were interesting but small artworks get lost in the large grayish space. These rooms require big, colorful installations and completely differently designed areas for smaller works. Do it yourself art section was a fun idea.

EMMA was my favourite museum in Finland. It has a good variety of art: ceramics, glass, wood and paintings. I especially liked the concretism gallery.

WeeGee is a fantastic exhibition center located in the heart of Espoo, offering a fresh and engaging take on modern and contemporary art. The spacious galleries (EMMA, KAMU etc) host a rotating lineup of thoughtfully curated exhibitions, so there’s always something new to discover, whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning art lover. A standout feature is the dedicated children’s area, making WeeGee one of the more family-friendly museums around. Another unique highlight is the Futuro House, the colorful, retro-futuristic plastic home that looks like it landed straight out of a sci-fi film. It’s included with your museum ticket and well worth the visit — both for its design history and visual impact. If you need a break after soaking in the art, the on-site restaurant on the bottom floor offers an affordable menu, making it easy to refuel without leaving the building. Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a curious traveler, or a parent looking for a creative outing with the kids, WeeGee is well worth a visit.

Really insightful experience)more for art appreciators). The surrounding is very well maintained,neat and tidy. The actual exhibition hall is not that big, but the displays are mostly interesting modern art and culture , crafts ,unique art work and are simply breath taking, authentic art pieces.Worth the tickets but it's free every Fridays after 17:00 ;) Adult : €12 / Below 18 &70+ ~ Free / Pensioners ,students etc ~ € 10

Weegee is an enormous art gallery. There are a lot of different things to look at, and I spent at least 2 hours looking around until closing time. You'll definitely find something for everyone here. There's even a play area for little kids! P.s. Free entry after 3 pm on Fridays. :)

You just can not miss it! All modern finnish Art is here under one roof! Welcome everyone, So we 'd have the same opinion and vision 🌼🌼🌼

A pure waste of money. It was not cheap to get a ticket there, and yet there us so little to see, my friend described it as “looks like its in construction”. Overall everything took us 5 minutes to see and really no anything special or even nice. Very plain and dull.

Nice place to spend time lot for kid to do. Get little overcrowded inside when they close outside due thunderstorm for a while. Get very load noice instead when all people was inside same time. Food at place very slow, ketchup was empty many say about it took over 10 min for them to refill it. Que to buy food and they close second place to order food instead to have both open. Buffé not to recommend and burgers was soso. Work to buy todays ticket when buy ticket instead to upgrade afterward.

For a family of 5 and all kids above 8yo awesome place as all attractions are suitable. Highly recommend renting the cottage as well.

Extremely clean, beautiful, and exciting. I wish it was grass instead of asphalt.

Great overall experience. Perhaps they could do something to ease the queuing for food in hot weather. They could have some water fountains as well, that would help as I heard a mother telling her kid not to drink from the pool as she saw a floating piece of poop. I want to believe it was just her way to warn her kid from the dirty water. 🥲

Parking 5e per day. You can park and pay at the machine near the entrance. During 12pm, there was separate queue available for advanced booking. They allows outside food and there are dining spaces. Better to go with swimming suits or shorts as all others will be wearing those. Locker facility available in the dressing room, take 2euro coins to access them. Hair dryers are available in the dressing room. Many rides are indoor. First aid medicines are kept there.

Serena is the best water park in Finland and open all year, although the outdoor attractions are closed during the winter season. About half of the water slides are indoors, and the indoor area is warm all year. The park offers waterslides for the whole family, and the biggest ones serve also the slightly daring ones. A mediocre restaurant offers burgers, a buffet lunch and some smaller snacks and during summer time there is also an ice cream kiosk. Serena is a great day trip distance on a beautiful summer day.

Good waterpark, a lot of sides for all ages. But if you looking for saunas and relaxation, better go somewhere else. Also, you have to bring money or card if you are going to the restaurant, it is not so convenient.

Fine old stone Church and bell tower with graveyards nearby. Sunday worship services with music and choir. Various excellent music events on summer evenings. Congregation house nearby serves coffee to service goers some sundays.

Beautiful and serene takes you back in time

Old traditional Finnish stone church. Very well maintained.

Free place to come a small peaceful little church and cute surroundings with a lake and ducks cute for a walk and picnic area

Went for a baroque concert which was very enjoyable. Church's acoustic is fine

Nice church , definitely worth a visit.

Old traditional Finnish stone church. Very well maintained.

Visited the manore together with a Ukrainian guide who gave us a nice excursion into the life and world of three renowned architects and their families who lived there. Now the museum is open only in the part of Saarinen premises. The entrance fee into the museum is 10-15 euros. The territory around is wonderful. There is a open air cafe open from June there. Definitely worth visiting.

Great place to visit in the summer! Interesting unique interior, nice surroundings- garden and a small beach down the hill, interesting history of the place. Definitely worth coming here at least once! Free entrance with the museum card. Better come by bike because the car parking is usually full

Very nice mansion complex and museum for a day tour near Helsinki. Though I do not have much knowledge of architecture, I still managed to enjoy the well-designed studio home and the amazing view. ”Work is the key to creative growth of the mind.” Btw, it is covered by the Museum Card.

A marvelous place that brings visitors serenity. We strolled through the forest and alongside the lake whole afternoon, enjoying summer sunshine to the fullest. - The museum is open from Wednesday to Sunday during summertime.

In a city full of neoclassic, minimalistic and functional design, this building still stands out as one of the best examples of Finnish architecture. The view over the lake is glorious at almost any time of the year. It is well maintained and organized.

Lake, garden, museum and sunset just enjoy the serene clam atmosphere. From Helsinki eleventh hour decision to watch sunset on longest day of the year 21/6/2023. Good experience.

I love, love, love the buildings. I could imagine living there. Beautiful place with many lovely designs from the times when people still crafted things by hand.

It is a great place to lose yourself to goofy things, from bouncy castle to trampolines, from vine climbers to kick cars. The only downside is that everything, literally feels outdated, old and needs some repair; half of the kick cars were broken, some of the 40 bouncy castles were just out of air and the sports road had either missing equipment or they were broken. Will go there again, but not as often as wanted due to this, and it is totally safe for everyone, it is just the price is quite high for such old stuff.

I had a good time with my family here. There's a bunch of things to play and they're not just for kids. I think my boyfriend had more fun than our kid did 😂 I recommend checking this place out!

The park is nice but overpriced in my opinion. If you are traveling with a child must pay full price per adult but one child is not allowed. Make at least half the cost for parents

Good place for people all ages, specially children. Tranpolines, sports, etc to test. Go there on a good weather. It's mostly outside. Minus points for toilets and bad and expensive coffee.

Surprisingly good- lots of activities for all ages. Live show and a parade too! Dropping one star as adults have to pay even if you don’t go on any rides

PuuhaPark is medium size activity park with bouncy castles, trampolines and sports tryouts. Not much effort has been done to theme or decorate the area and the bouncies aren't anything special. With entry fees, food and super expensive ice-cream day at PuuhaPark costs about the same as day in Linnanmäki or GrönaLund for family of four, but doesn't come even close in the value. I small recommendation for families with 5 to 10 year old kids who have already done the main parks.

Absolutely fantastic place to go with children! Lots of trampolines, at least 30 different kinds of bouncy houses, sport fields, football flipper... plenty of space for everyone even on a busy day. There is even a large picnic terrace where you can fry your own sausage and a lunch restaurant on the other side of the parking. A full day of fun and happy tires kids 😊

Beautiful church and graveyard. A must-see.

Came here during the "Christmas Fair of the Olden times", to safe from the cold and damp weather. The church is really massive stone building with a black, shingle roof. The drawings onnthe walls inside are really rare and special for Finnish churches. Acoustics are good. Toilets are located downstairs, you have to take steep stairs to go there.

Very pretty church with some very interesting murals

A Christian familiar with Sunday services will recognize the liturgy and Sunday service progress here even if they don’t understand the local language. In this case Finnish. Services are also provided in Swedish. The clergy is well educated and multilingual. The Finnish Catholic Church provides services here also but infrequently. The Lojo region offers natural beauty and SW Finland’s largest lake.

An acceptable church. Protestantism is a heresy at best, therefore I dare not enter by thought of free will. May God bring one mercy, but do not muzzle thy ox whilst it grazes. (Deuteronomy 25:4)

It's a huge medieval stone church in the middle of Lohja city. Some original wallpaintings inside the church. This one is worth to visit.

Nice milieu. Well maintained.

This place is a hidden gem. I loved the experience of being pretty deep underground with deemed lights and the quiet sound of water dripping from the ceiling somewhere. There's some mining equipment and a lot of information about the mining process, which is quite interesting. Also, the Christmas decorations are great, one can even meet Joulupukki there.

A very informative and fun tour. The temp is cool down there. If you don't have a jacket, they have blankets. The hi-tech and low-tech is on display. Allow 2 hours for a thorough experience and take lots of pictures. Don't miss the sauna and the troll.

It was an interesting exhibition of Lohja's old Tytyri mine. There was a lot of old mining equipment and a few mining vehicles on display. - The temperature in the mine/quarry is +8°C year-round, so remember to bring a jacket! - The entrance fee was €18. - You are also required to wear a helmet when visiting the mine, which will be provided.

Absolutely amazing place and so much bigger and better executed that I expected! A lot of information about the history of the mine and the lift down was an experience in itself. Definitely recommend for an unusual activity, especially with children. We were just 2 adults on out own but had do much fun😍 Loved the troll...so cute and got a hug from him so that made my day. The entrance fee of 14,50 euros is very reasonable considering what a unique experience you get. I've certainly never visited anywhere like it. Very friendly and helpful, knowledgeable staff and a nice little coffee and gift shop too. 10/10❤️

It's a nice place to visit on a rainy day. The Kone elevator brings you down 350 meters below the surface. There is plenty to see down earth if you take it slowly and read the signs. The staff were able to speak to me in English, so I got a good explanation about the mine. I recommend to go here, it's a nice way to spend some time in the weekend!

Exciting and beautiful glimpse into Finnish mining history in Lohja. We had a blast! The staff in the mines were extremely knowledgeable about the mine history. If you are in southern Finland you need to make it here!

I really enjoyed the experience. There are really few places in Finland where you can spend 2 hours in a guided tour for such a low price and the experience is really interesting. From the super fast elevator to the tunnels and the art exhibition. I would recommend it for families with kids and for people interested in geology or science in general.

Great beach near by Lohja City. There's Activity's all year long. Events and activities for everyone in summer and winter. Music, markets with small business products, beach life with the little ones in the family. The city of Lohja really invests in the city's diverse recreational activities.

The beach itself is great - playground for kids, long and clean beach, activities for adults, beach volley etc. I would have given 5 stars if there were more restaurants and cafes in the area.

Perfect in winter time! Ice covers the lake so there won't be any annoying swimmers around.

Nice longish (in Finnish context) beach close to city and services.

Pretty good beach for family

XC game XXV XC vvf te o

Awesome place, nice beach.

Nice castle. Don't follow Google Maps to get there, but follow the signs on the road. They will follow you to the back of the castle. For €8 you walk around in a well maintained castle which gives you half an hour to an hour of joy. I was there in the early morning, but you can get lunch and coffee too.

Beautiful castle ruins. The road that leads to the castle is very smooth and the scenery is breathtaking. Inside the castle it’s cool to see the rocks and the rooms, but there was not much. Adult entrance fee is 7 euros.

Ruins are surrounded by the beautiful Finnish forest. We haven't entered the castle because it seemed too expensive to just have a look inside the ruins, but path leading to museum (600m) is lovely. Also the place itself is very peaceful is bright.

Nice place to ' look history

Very Nice & Beautiful Castle Ruin to visit in Southern Finland. You need to buy Tickets to enter to the castle from the ticket office. There is a cafe nearby as well. Very good WC facilities. Have to park the car in parking area and walk down little bit to get to the castle. DON'T FOLLOW THE GOOGLE NAVIGATION. It directs us to a wrong place which you can not get the access by a car through a private land property. Just follow the direction signs on the road to get to the correct place.

Great medieval castle. Lots of information on signs in English and Russian. It is closed for the winter so you cannot go inside the castle now but it was nice to walk around and read about the castle. There is a trail you can walk through the fields and forest and cross the river to visit a museum. We took our dog and he had a blast walking everywhere. The cafe was closed for the winter so we cannot comment on that. We will definitely go back to visit in the summer. We spent about 2 hours there today even in the rain. Very gorgeous area.

A bit smallish and ruined, but there are decent platforms and some stairs built as well. This is definitely not for someone with movability problems though. It is also much better to visit in the summer.

Nature 5 starts. Paths 5 stars. Trash everywhere - WTH!? Roittening wood pieces piled everywhere, destroying the experience.

I saw so many cranberries! And mushrooms! Edible and inedible ones.

The largest swamp of southern finland. Relatively crowded, so take your Nokia rubber boots and start exploring

If you like bogs - this the place for you! The national park of Torronsuo covers over 30 square kilometers of bog and forest. They have nice well signed trails of various lengths around the park. I like the 8.5 km Suontaival trail which covers most important places. It is a wonderful walk with long long duckboards. I would highly recommend taking it. There are two parking areas with toilets along the trail. Remeber that during the summer there might be a lot of mosquitos so prepare for them accordingly. The park has english www-site with maps.

Nice trail that leads deep to a swamp. Views are special and so different from what I've seen. Quite and peaceful. The only bad thing was a part of the trail goes along a big road with 80 km/h speed limit. It spoils the impression. Moreover it is dangerous as there's no pedestrian line.

A beautiful national park with different trails, info signs, a bird watching tower, and benches.

Easy hiking trail and scenically beautiful. Most of the path is on the wooden planks.

Gym in the basement, three swimming pools, jacuzzi, sauna, hammam. There is one water slide. Nice place to relax.

25m track for swimming, jump tower (1,5m & 3m), one water slide, hot and cold water pools, bubble bath and artificial wave pool. Nice and clean, not too much people.

Cozy mid-sized spa, kids and parents alike seem to love the wave machine. Includes different depths for 0-6 year Olds, 120cm tall, distance swimmers etc. There is a cafereteria at the ticket sales.

Not too crowded, clean pools and reasonable prices. Good value for money, especially when visiting with kids.

Joined the dive club for morning swim and SCUBA. Great work out.

A family friendly spa with possibility to swim some distance also.

Very good

Stopped here on a road trip and was pleasantly surprised! The place is a nice mix of design shop, cafe, and showroom. Lots of beautiful Finnish design items. The cafe was cozy and offered snacks, coffee and lunch options. We had the fish and chips and also the falafel, which both tasted great. Friendly staff, clean facilities, and a calm atmosphere.

It was nice place to take a cup of coffee. Beautiful store with calm atmosphere.

A good place to stop when driving. The glass is attractive anyway but the restaurant serves freshly cooked food and a buffet option is available also. There is plenty of restaurant seating. Ordered the Talon Burger and was not disappointed.

A great glass and house decor and useful items shop, also a cafe. Very beautiful items and good service.

Great designs, calm atmosphere and good food! The employees are quite silent but that's alright. I remember when they had a glass window and as a kid I watched a guy making glass products through the glass. Core memory!

I only come here for the shop so that's why there are no stars for food. Muurla enamel products are the best for everything cooking wise. They are sturdy and easy to clean and hella nice looking. Deeply recommend to buy your souvenirs from here to yourself and others.

Surprise find on way to Fiskars. Good selection, great Mommin items, bunch of items on sale, friendly staff.

We went to see an exhibition by Mari Rantanen called Tunne värinä, and loved it. It's a small local museum, but keeping that in mind their space and all exhibitions I've seen have been great. The curators clearly know what they're doing. There's also a free tour every day that's included in the ticket price, possibly only in Finnish though, which is nice. Driving from Helsinki to Turku this is our must see stop every time there's a new exhibition.

Good location, plenty of space. Amazing Chinese photographer.

Current art show with Chinese photographer pictures is definitely worth of visiting. Pictures give nice highlight of living in real China outside of urban areas. I recommend this place. Not too big but peaceful, you can move with your own pace and piece.

Beautiful.museu., a bit on a smaller side than it looks from.outside and cafe was closed when we visited. Staff very friendly, found all information in English for us. Excellent toilet facilities and very interesting exhibitions.

The place is small and possibly does not provide very good other services than exhibitions (there are café and a tiny museum shop with books mainly in Finnish). However the exhibition and the way how it was organised and set up was excellent. The space is great with many sections providing a good experience I believe for both visitors and exhibitors.

Interactive exhibition. Both kids and adults enjoyed it a lot.

The paintings of Petri Ala-Maunus are great. Really a good exhibition , one painting is 8,50 m x 2,20 m. I love it. ...you should go there🔝

Too much customers and too little staf. Othervise the food and beer were exellent. Nice place and good atmosphere.

If you happen to be around stop here to buy some excellent craft beer or artesan bread & bakings. Friendly owner and absolutely great place to visit!

Great locally produced beers, nice atmosphere.

Cozy place, superb beers and bakery products

Good vegan pizza

(Translated by Google) Kuori apple cider captured the taste buds of our group when we dined at Terho restaurant. Best of all, this best cider in the country was found in the village brewery's idyllic store located in the backyard of the building. A really fresh, suitably appley, captivating drink is sold in a beautiful glass bottle. A delightfully friendly lady, as the spirit of the store, packed the bottles nicely in a beautiful cardboard transport box that holds 3 bottles. The packaging and friendliness in the brewery's store were like a crown for this fine fresh drink as a ride boy on the trip to our home in Hämeenlinna. A strong recommendation for stopping by the store and tasting this Kuori cider! Of course, there are many other interesting and certainly tasty drinks in the selections. Still to the end ISO thanks for the level of service. You are great, making the visitor satisfied in every way 👍 (Original) Kuori omenasiideri valloitti seurueemme makunystyrät käydessämme ruokailemassa Terho ravintolassa. Mikä parasta, tämä maaliman paras siideri löytyi rakennuksen takapihalla sijaitsevasta kyläpanimon idyllisestä myymälästä. Todella raikas, sopivasti omenainen valloittava juoma myydään kauniissa lasipullossa. Aivan ihastuttavan ystävällinen neiti myymälän hengettärenä pakkasi pullot nättiin 3 pulloa vetävään kauniiseen kartonkiseen kuljetuslaatikkoon. Pakkaus ja ystävällisyys panimon myymälässä olivat kuin kruunu tämän hienon raikkaan juoman kyytipojaksi matkalle kotiimme Hämeenlinnaan. Vahva suositus poikkeamiselle myymälään ja maistelemaan tätä Kuori siideriä! Toki valikoimissa paljon muitakin mielenkiintoisia sekä varmasti maistuvia juomia. Vielä loppuun ISO kiitos palvelun tasosta. Olette huippuja, saaden kävijän kaikella tapaa tyytyväiseksi 👍

(Translated by Google) Kyläpanimo's store, seen from the street, behind the restaurant building in this photo, where these tables are also located (photo of the store's entrance). A little disappointing that there were only two beers left when we left on Saturday afternoon. We bought a few ciders, there were also sodas left. At least the ciders are from traditional small-brewery production, the yeast tastes good. (Original) Kyläpanimon myymälä kadulta katsottuna tämän kuvan ravintolarakennuksen takana jossa myös nämä pöydät (kuva myymälän ovensuusta).

Ainakin siiderit perinteistä pienpanimotuotantoa, hiiva maistuu.

Its great. I visited during winter to attend a conference. I believe it is extremely beautiful during summer. If you live in Finland, I highly recommend to visit this place for summer vacation.

There is an event 'Pumpkin Patch' 15-31 October. It is very creative idea to decorate the museum in Halloween theme 👍🎃👻😁

Absolutely worth a visit if you are in the neighborhood. Interesting old industrial setting, shops, 🦙, beer… what’s not to like?

Great historic industrial location

Unique surroundings, lovely atmosphere and nice hotel by the sea. Village has it's own brewery and the beer's to my liking! This is my kind of weekend holiday getaway place!

Lovely, idyllic place with cafes and small shops. Interesting craftmanship, e.g. local brewery and bakery. A bit quiet in May, probably busier in holiday season. Worth a half day visit definitely!

Old Mill and factory with lots of history. A summer place. If you are staying in a summer cabin here it's worth visiting. Ate lunch in the restaurant and it was nice for a good summer day.

An amazing reflection of a super weird and quirky artist.

Robust moss covered statues amidst a moss-clad trees, mushrooms and ponds, this is the life-work of artist Alpo Jaakola. His message so true in this day and age.

Uudestaan! I wanna see this again! Inspiring!

Lots of creative artwork!

Nice sculptures in Finnish forest

Closed too early in summer.

Amazing atomosphere

Mostly good and easy access. Some parts with some broken takes and some parts with a little too little o formation and signs where to walk. But if you have a map and common sense this is not a problem

i would say this is a good place to go walking Offers small and big walking trails for the beginners and advanced its very nice and clean offers a place to grill and camp offers free car parking near the entrance has toilets *do need your own toilet paper*

Lovely place. Savojärven kierros is a great one to take on a normal weekend. Though you should be careful with the buss schedules. On some weekdays the busses only go to tontinmäki, which might make it harder to plan during your summer holidays 👀

Good place for a light day hike with nice grilling area and clean toilets. But ugly camping area - tiny ground far away from lake and next to parking and somebody's private yard. I would not recommed to come here for camping with tent.

Super nice nature and walking track. Would be try to visit again on Winter😍🤩

There are 2 path on this park, one is around the "lake" the other is deep in the lands, both are using wood pieces to step in and walk, but forget about the second which is not open because of old/broken wood pieces (you can go but it is at your own risk cf pictures) So basically there is only one path, savojärven kierros, which means Tour around the lake Savo.. A tour about 5.5km, where you WONT SEE THE LAKE BEFORE 3 KM OF WALKING, instead of that you'll see the swamps, still walking on the wood pieces, firstly you'll find this path lovely and the wood pieces are poetic and funny! But after 3 km in the swamps... You won't I swear. You have to look at your feet every time (a few disappointing for a nature path you'll say) and jeeeez it hurts feet like hell. To end this, some wood pieces are also broken but nothing warns you... We don't recommand this place, ruissalo instead is a good place to see /walk through.

Really great place for hiking even with kids, especially the hike around the lake Savojarvi.Do bring in your own sausages and food and u can enjoy a great barbecue either at Kurjenpesä or Rantapiha. By the way best way to reach park is not what google map suggests. I would recommend to search following lat/long 60.743025,22.424462 there you can nicely park your car and then start towards Kurjenpesä and then cover the lake stretch in circle via Rantapiha.

A must see! Super fascinating church. Just looking at the outside and seeing how piecemeal it is, your mind races with curiosity at how it ended up being built like that and how it has been able to withstand hundreds of years! The free museum inside was far more than I expected. The relics they have in their collection go back to the middle ages.

A 13th-century Catholic church on the banks of the Aura River. Its historical texture has been preserved. Inside, the church is constantly ringing.

Cathedral is great. I liked its clock as well, each 15 min sounds pretty good.

One of the oldest church in Finland, 700 years old. Historical architecture and serene and peaceful place around the church premises. Visitors are not allowed to walk inside church when any event or concert is going on. A very good place to visit in Turku

We visited this beautiful old church, which has been part of the community for many years and serves as a peaceful place of worship for locals and visitors alike. Although it was closed when we arrived, the kind caretaker allowed us to enter. The church’s quiet atmosphere, simple yet graceful architecture, and sense of history made it truly special. We took a moment to pray — it was the first church where my boyfriend and I prayed together.

Absolutely gorgeous inside and out. Probably one of our top rated sights in Finland.

Interesting history of the area being able to see the architecture of medieval Europe.

Really interesting museum however we visited over Easter and lot of the buildings were closed. However they didn’t tell us until after we paid for our ticket. And the tickets were full price which we felt was a bit unfair. Would be nicer to have seen more museum staff in the buildings to explain or guide.

Nice outdoor museum that displays an old part of Turku as it was ~200 years ago. Buildings are still original, inside them there are many different types of tools and machinery for traditional craftsmanship. Some are even in use today and operated by the museum staff. This place is really worth a visit.

In this museum, you not only learn a great deal about Finnish culture and history, but you can also try everything yourself and buy interesting handicrafts. We were very lucky to have a private tour; our guide, a wonderful history student, told us fascinating stories about this district and Turku.

Fascinating open air museum. The only surviving original wooden houses in the old town area of Turku. Each house has information about the former inhabitants and their occupations.

A lovely and immersive open-air museum experience. Luostarinmäki Handicrafts Museum is easy to find and easy to navigate once you're there. The layout feels open and inviting, and the combination of well-preserved houses and thoughtfully written information really helps you imagine what life might have been like in different historical periods. We visited in summer, but I imagine it's just as atmospheric during other seasons – the surroundings and interiors give you a good sense of life across the year. There are toilets, lockers, a shop and a café, and we also appreciated being able to buy both hot and cold drinks as well as pastries in the outdoor area. Museum guides were placed strategically around the site, and added depth and warmth to the experience with their knowledge and friendly presence. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience a living slice of Finnish history in the heart of Turku. Also, the ticket is valid all day, so you can visit the museum several times during the day.

It a nice place to visit to experience the heritage culture at first hand.

I really enjoyed my visit to Luostarinmäki. The buildings are full of olden times charm, and the stories of the people who lived there were fascinating. Especially the story of little Erik was heartwrenching. I also loved the "brochures" printed on plywood. Genious and surely more environmentally savvy than plastic or paper! I loved seeing the old craftsmanship workshops – it’s like walking into the past, but with the added benefit of modern shoes. The staff were friendly and polite, and I appreciated the period-dressed actors. It would be amazing if there were more of them, like one for each house, but let’s be real – that might bump up the ticket price. The village sounds were somewhat creepy. You could hear the sounds of village life in perfectly empty houses, like you were amidst ghosts. One quick heads-up: if you’re taller than 170 cm (or about 5’7), mind your head! The doorways and beams are low, which is part of the historic authenticity. Just don’t let history knock you out! We managed to find free parking quite near, just a block away. Paid parking closer. The restrooms were nice and clean.

A captivating journey into Turku’s medieval past. Walking through the preserved ruins beneath the city feels like stepping back in time. Rich history, clear storytelling, and engaging exhibits make it unforgettable.

Very cool museum, get both tickets

My nr one fav place in Turku. Must visit. I've been visiting for dozen times! Oöd Turku exhibition and modern art exhibition under the same roof.

Clean and well maintained museum. I was skeptical it was worth the time and entrance fee but I’m glad we went in! They make piles of old rocks and bricks interesting! Be sure to use the audio guides or it’s just rubble. About 45 minutes is enough time, maybe an hour if you like to read everything. Did not do the Art exhibit add-on because there wasn’t one while we were there.

Beautiful museum showing the town that was below the current city of Turku. The museum is modern in construction. They also have a gallery with a contemporary artist.

Really nice place, don't forget to visit upstairs museum.

Really nice combination of Art gallery and Archeological museum. The entire building is built on top of an excavation of medieval dwellings with artifacts dating from the 16th century. I think this is a top place to visit when in Turku

Nice place and lovely library too, another one of my favorite places 📖🤍

Great place! Free Wi-Fi, a lot of very interesting books, a lot of space for privacy with a book, music or podcast. There is a coffee shop inside, you can have a snack there. The toilet in the cafe is 2€, but it's better to look for a free one in the library itself, it's hidden behind the reception ;) There is a game room for children, reading rooms etc A unique place really. It was like I was back in school again, but modern one

Modern library in a central location. The Turku library is huge. The building has an old and a modern part. The selection of books is huge. Many people from Turku also come here to read newspapers. The WLAN is free of charge. There are charging facilities and plenty of seating. There are also toilets and luggage lockers. There is a small café serving drinks and snacks.

lets talk about the ghosts!!!! ask any employee, theyll tell you how many absolutely refuse to go in the basement alone. pro tip: the library is built on the site of the ancient execution & human sacrifice spot!!!!

A charming library with comfortable and pleasant spaces for reading, learning and playing. Work and study desks facing the street and inner courtyard. Reading and play areas for children in low seating, with a charming display of objects from books under transparent tiles and scattered cabinets. Throughout the year there are a variety of community activities related to literature (Moomin, Harry Potter and more...) A wonderful, pleasant and relaxed place that both we and the children love very much.

A mix of old and new in the city of Turku. Functional building with respect to the historical values of the building. A must visit - especially if you have kids who can enjoy the kids section inside. The older guys could enjoy the fine architecture.

The new library show modernity, and the old library shows the spirit of classicality. Each table and chair was decorated in a stylish Nordic style and on the second floor, the displayed dress hung in the sky between the beautiful stairs. I'm sorry I couldn't take a few pictures because it's a library. I had a hard time taking this picture, too.

We just had a couple of hours left for the visit, so we bought the tickets to visit two vessels. We chose the two warships and it was really worth it. You can walk through them freely, explore the decks and interiors, and really get a sense of what life was like on board. There are a lot of information panels inside. Even without seeing the rest of the museum, it felt like a unique experience.

haven't been in the museum itself, but outside as well as the free boat museum. really nice scenery and café. well renovated buildings.

We visited 4 ships (two battle ships, one luxury hotel ship and one big sailboat, used by the Marine). By the end of the third hour we felt ourselves totally exhausted. Very interesting, informative, but to climb up and down in and on the ships is really tireing. Many many information and stairs. In my oponion this is simple too much. Finally we had no any power to visit the Visitor Center itself.

Great place to explore Finish maritime history. It is worth to pay for two day tickets as you get access to museum and all displayed floating ship.

Worth the price for the ships exhibitions and guide. The museum and exhibitions are kids friendly.

A cool museum about maritime and seafaring in Turku. Offers a cool mixture of modern exhibitions (VR, interactive stuff) and old things (as one might expect from a museum).

One of the best museum experiences in Finland. It wasn’t exactly free for the kids, but it was worth every cent. We visited the place over two days for the same price. The kids just loved the Children’s Maritime Museum exhibition, and the ships were really interesting to visit. It’s a very comprehensive museum with a lot to do and see. Suomen Joutsen is quite unique, and S/S Bore was really interesting. The exhibitions “Working at Sea” and “Finnish Shipbuilding” were informative and well-built. A truly great museum visit.

Turku Castle was an impressive and pleasantly surprising visit. At first glance, the exterior didn't seem particularly breathtaking, but as I got closer and walked around the grounds and then inside the castle, I appreciated it a lot more. I spent a full three hours exploring the castle, and there was so much to see and learn. The exhibits were great, with lots information and interactive elements that provided more insight into the intertwined history of Sweden and Finland. One of the things I learned was that this castle used to be on an island and was connected to the mainland later, which I found quite cool. For some reason I was particularly fascinated by all the windows that you could see from the inner courtyard! The little park around the castle is a lovely and peaceful space to walk through. I also have to mention the museum shop, which has a lot of interesting items.

Turku Castle is an absolutely fascinating place to explore! The architecture, exhibits, and well-preserved rooms really bring Finnish history to life. Walking through the halls feels like stepping back in timem. It’s definitely one of the highlights of Turku and worth spending a couple of hours discovering all its corners. One small tip for future visitors: I couldn’t easily find a public WC or urinals during my visit, even the paid ones. Overall, a wonderful and memorable visit — highly recommended for anyone interested in history, castles, or just enjoying a unique cultural landmark in Finland

A historical place that was the central location of Finland for hundreds of years when Finland was a part of Swedish kingdom. As a castle it's not that spectacular compared to castles in other parts of Europe, but for understanding Finnish medieval and renessaince history, it's an important place to visit. It has burned down several times, last time during WWII, so pretty much all wooden parts are relatively new compared to the age of the castle.

An old castle with a museum inside. I visited on early hours before the museum actually opened, so didn't got a chance inside. Around the museum is nice green relaxing park with lot of benches and place for cycle parking. Peaceful place must visit

Worth a visit! Every corner of Turku Castle tells another story about its history. I visited on Turku Day (third Sunday of September), and in the courtyard there was medieval music playing, I’m not sure if that happens regularly, but it definitely made my visit feel like time travel. My husband and I explored the castle for about 2 hours and 30 minutes, which I think is enough time to see everything at a relaxed pace.

Amazing place. But if you wanna go there, be careful, because Google write that Monday is open,but it's closed.

Beautiful place to visit, the gift shop was very reasonably priced as well! Would love to visit again in the future; adult ticket price was about €16.50
