7 days in Lappeenranta Itinerary

On the shores of the country's largest lake system, Lappeenrata serves as the economic and cultural center of southeast Finland.

Visit Olavinlinna Castle and Sandcastle Lappeenranta for their historical value. Visiting Repovesi National Park and Hiidenvuori will get you outdoors. Venture out of the city with trips to Kerimaki Church (in Kerimaki), Lusto - The Finnish Forest Museum (in Punkaharju) and Hamina (Hamina Town Hall & Hamina Old Town). And it doesn't end there: explore the activities along Saimaa Canal, pause for some serene contemplation at Lauritsala Church, contemplate the long history of Langinkoski Imperial Fishing Lodge Museum, and examine the collection at Wolkoff House Museum.

For where to stay, photos, other places to visit, and tourist information, use the Lappeenranta attractions site.

In July in Lappeenranta, expect temperatures between 24°C during the day and 15°C at night. Finish your sightseeing early on the 31st (Fri) to allow enough time to travel back home.
