Lappeenranta is Finland’s 2nd most popular travel destination after Helsinki and a hub of
lakeside tourism along the shores of Lake Saimaa, Europe’s 4th largest lake. The Fortress,
with its museums, craftsmen’s shops and cafes is steeped in rich history. During the summer
and fall, several ships depart from the harbour, heading for the labyrinth of islands on Lake
Saimaa or through the Saimaa Canal. You can visit the Russian city of Vyborg without a visa
on a canal cruise. An amazing port area provides fun both day and night.
Alternatively,
visitors may choose to rent a quiet cabin on the lake shore outside the city. Complete your
package with an active cultural life, local delicacies, a relaxing spa visit or a round of
scenic golf. During the winter, the snowy surface of Lake Saimaa provides a plenitude of
outdoor activities such as skiing, skating, snowshoeing or snowmobile safaris.
