If you’re after a day-trip destination, we’ve got some ideas. Located 25 miles away, Kuopio is worth hopping in the car for. Among your first stops here should be Puijo Tower, VB Valokuvakeskus and Museum of Kuopio. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Savonlinna, 55 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Olavinlinna Castle. (But we’re also big fans of Savonlinna Market Square and Savonlinna Regional Museum.)
