With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Jyvaskyla, 25 miles away, has to offer. See the sights beginning with Laajis Ski Resort, Alvar Aalto Museum and Alvar Aalto Buildings. Situated 60 miles away, Kuopio is another place to aim for. If you visit, don’t miss Puijo Tower, VB Valokuvakeskus and Museum of Kuopio.
