Hame Visitor Centre located south of Hameenlinna by the national parks of Liesjarvi and Torronsuo surrounding by big lakes. Its a great place to get more information about the nature in the area, where to go hiking and camping of even just to take a short break and swim in the lake.

This is the house where the famous Finnish composer Jean Sibelius was born in 1865. Located in the city centre it is now a small museum dedicated to the composer, his life and his music.
