With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Varkaus, 40 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights beginning with Taipale Canal Museum, Water Tower Sightseeing Platform and Art Centre Vainola. Mikkeli is another popular destination. It’s 60 miles away and home to tons of interesting things to see and do. Urheilupuisto, Kenkavero Vicarage and Mikkelipuisto Park are only the start.
