paavo from Indonesia wrote about Olavinlinna 4 years, 11 months ago
...update: not the _only_ reason.
Savonlinna also hosts annual opera festivals, in the castle, though. The surrounding lake country is also breath-takingly beautiful. Take a daytrip to punkaharju as well.

Huge cliff in middle of fairytale forrest. Amazing place. Good place for climbing. You can also find quite big cave here.
Rock can be seen from nearby harbor.
juha from Finland wrote about Olavinlinna 5 years, 9 months ago
Perhaps the coolest medieval castle in Finland and definitely the best guided tours. One might even say that Olavinlinna is the only reason to go to Savonlinna and definitely worth the visit if you're close by.
sanpola from Finland wrote about Särkisalmi 5 years ago
Annual Hard Days Night is worth seeing. Witnessed e.g. The Renegades and The Tremeloes.

Hah, sounds like fun. :-) I take the Hard Day's Night is some music / festival event? Should this be added to the RockFest group perhaps..
jussi from Finland wrote about Olavinlinna 4 years, 9 months ago
The Savonlinna Opera Festival proved to be a much better experience than I anticipated. The Olavinlinna castle provides excellent premises and the atmosphere is relaxed.
Savonlinna is a nice city. :-)

Judging by the name, this must be one heck of a place. :)
hedy from Finland wrote about Punkaharjun Valtionhotelli one year, 9 months ago
Wonderful hotel, restaurant and... vacation area...
Hotel and amazing restaurant are located in pink building. But on a beach they have sauna, tennis court, beach volley court and cheap simple cottages. Just perfect way to spend summer holiday in Finland!

juha from Finland wrote about Kerimäki church 5 years, 9 months ago
In Kerimäki there is nothing except for this biggest wooden church. It's ok for a church and worth visiting if you're driving by for some reason. Don't bother traveling here for this reason only, though.
jussi from Finland wrote about Summer Hotel Vuorilinna 4 years, 9 months ago
The Vuorilinna summer hotel is a good bang for the buck kind of place to stay. Our room was spartan but spacious and the location is excellent. And didn't cost much.
jussi from Finland wrote about Happy Time 4 years, 9 months ago
A local girl recommended this bar for us so we went to check it out - and were happy that we did. The DJ played good music varying from YUP to The Doors to smooth jazz rhythms. At least on a summer saturday packed with young people.
perttu from Finland wrote about Olavinlinna 4 years, 9 months ago
The tour is quite interesting since there has been a lot of action in the past.
perttu from Finland wrote about Happy Time 4 years, 9 months ago
