➡️Have you yet been to the east coast of Finland?
There are some charming places to visit, especially if you are interested in history, architecture, and culture. What’s more – these easter gems are nearby each other, all less than two hours away from the capital by car, so you could visit them all in a single day.
Here are some must-see places to visit and things to do:
✨Get to know Loviisa’s past in the city’s culturally significant esplanade and the market square. Pivotal to this 19th-century landscape are the pink City Hall, the neo-gothic church, and the oldest wooden community center in the country.
🛠Continue your day in the nearby Strömfors Ironworks, a picturesque village founded in 1695, where you can enjoy lunch in an idyllic milieu and discover unique gifts made by local artisans.
🛑Hamina’s round city plan from the 1720s is a fascinating sight to see, and it is also a worldwide rarity. In the center, you’ll find the grand city hall, the starting point for eight radial streets. Marvel at the significant historical buildings and other sights along the blocks and continue your way to the octagon-shaped fortress surrounding the old town.
⚓️In Kotka, stroll around the central Kotkansaari district. Admire a couple of dozen art pieces made mostly by Finnish contemporary artists at the Sculpture Promenade. If you are keen to learn more about the marine culture, pay a visit to the Maritime Center Vellamo, which hosts the Maritime Museum of Finland.
