8 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.

Explore Lappeenranta's surroundings by going to Repovesi National Park (in Kouvola), Olavinlinna Castle (in Savonlinna) and Kotka (Maritime Centre Vellamo, Sapokka Water Garden, & more). There's much more to do: contemplate the waterfront views at Saimaa Canal, step into the grandiose world of Sandcastle Lappeenranta, find something for the whole family at Angry Birds Activity Park, and walk around The Parikkala Sculpture Park.
