What is Rauma

Rauma (Finnish) or Raumo (Swedish) is a town in Western Finland. The wooden houses in the center of the old town are a UNESCO World Heritage site. Rauma is the third oldest town in Finland, and currently houses approximately 40,000 inhabitants. It is a historic seafaring town but in the 20th century its main industry became paper milling. In recent years, significant employment has also been contributed by the nearby Olkiluoto area which houses two of Finland's nuclear power plants and is currently constructing a third.

Visit during summertime, preferably in July. Then there is at least a slight chance to see someone.

There are beautiful places in Rauma, which most people have never heard of. We went there for a small hike last weekend and found a great view. The place is absolutely in the middle of forest and I know no better way to tell you guys where it is, than coordinates :D Goos luck with that. The coordinates are about N 61° 06.675 E 021° 33.156. Tiny little walk and beautiful view!

In the peaceful town of Rauma, there is this quite small, but very unique and atmospheric boutique. Lots of presents to your friends, souvenirs to your family and something to yourself, of course.

There is just something about Old Rauma. When you are walking along the streets and alleys, you can imagine the people running around there hundred years ago, ladies wearing big dresses and man wearing fine clothes. If you can get a guide for your trip, she or he will probably tell crazy stories from old days. At least our guide did :) Just be careful so he won't join you to your lunch, because yes, our did..

And those are interested in architecture, there are absolutely beautiful houses in Old Rauma.

The best pizza I ever had! Ultra thin and very tasty. Has been in the same place since 1980.

The service in the restaurant was quick even though there was plenty of people eating. Maybe even too quick if you going there to sit and enjoy your companyt. Staff was looking happy the whole time. And of course the best part was the food! Basic menu, but they somehow make it extra good :D
