With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore everything that Kuopio, 19 miles away, has to offer. Puijo Tower ought to be at the top of your to-do list here. VB Valokuvakeskus and Museum of Kuopio are terrific attractions too. Don’t miss Varkaus either! Just 40 miles away, Taipale Canal Museum, Water Tower Sightseeing Platform and Art Centre Vainola are must-sees here.
