With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Heinola, 25 miles away, has to offer. Heinolan Lintutarha, Heinola Summer Theatre and Heinola Art Museum alone justify the drive. Located 25 miles away, Mikkeli is another popular choice. If you swing by, make sure you check out Urheilupuisto, Kenkavero Vicarage and Mikkelipuisto Park.
