If you find yourself with a spare day or two and you don’t mind traveling 25 miles, take a look at Lappeenranta. This lively place has lots of things to see and do. Lappeenranta Fortress, Lappeenranta Harbour and Lappee Church alone make the drive out worth it. Located 25 miles away, Kouvola is another popular option. If you stop by, make sure you check out Tykkimaki Amusement Park, Poikilo - The Kouvola Art Museum and Kouvolan Circuit.
