Jyvaskyla
— 5 nights

Jyväskylä is a city and municipality in Finland and in the western part of the Finnish Lakeland. Explore Jyvaskyla's surroundings by going to Jamsa (Vitikkala Manor & Himos Ski Resort), Oravivuori Triangulation Tower (in Korpilahti) and Keuruu (Church of Keuruu & Old Church of Keuruu). There's much more to do: examine the collection at The Alvar Aalto Museum, get a new perspective on nature at Natural History Museum of Central Finland, take in the views from Kuokkalan silta, and take an in-depth tour of Toivolan Vanha Piha.
