With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore everything that Heinola, 30 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights starting with Heinolan Lintutarha, Heinola Summer Theatre and Heinola Art Museum. Don’t skip Kotka either! Just 35 miles away, Maretarium, Sapokka Water Garden and Langinkoski Imperial Fishing Lodge are must-sees here.
