...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 2 years, 7 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.

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..
paavo from Indonesia wrote about Punkaharju one year, 9 months ago
Incredibly beautiful nature surrounded by lakes. Not to be missed.
jussi from Finland wrote about Olavinlinna one year, 7 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. :-)
juha from Finland wrote about Kerimäki church 2 years, 7 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 one year, 7 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 one year, 7 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 one year, 7 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 one year, 7 months ago
Nice bar with good atmosphere and live gigs.

If you haven't already been there, make sure you don't miss Summer 2010 exhibition. During 3.6.-29.8.2010 they display the beautiful works of Helene Schjerfbeck and her sister artists.
