With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Lahti, 20 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be Karisma Shopping Center, Messila Maailma Oy Ski Center and Salpausselka Stadium. Don’t miss Kouvola either! Just 25 miles away, Tykkimaki Amusement Park, Poikilo - The Kouvola Art Museum and Kouvolan Circuit are essential stops here.
