If you have a spare day or two and you’re willing to travel 30 miles, check out Jyvaskyla. This popular place offers plenty of things to keep you engaged. Laajis Ski Resort, Alvar Aalto Museum and Alvar Aalto Buildings alone make the drive out worthwhile. Locals will also probably point you toward Kuopio, 45 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Puijo Tower. (But we’re also big fans of VB Valokuvakeskus and Museum of Kuopio.)
