Lovely place in warm weather
jarmko Says: Let's face it : Lappeenranta is a summer town. There're a lot of things to do during summer time. If you like cruises take one on lake Saimaa. You can cruise from Lappeenranta to several Finnish towns. In case you're interested in traveling to Russia, you can take a cruise...

Gili_S Says: As I live in Finland, obvious for me was just to drive there, from Helsinki the motorway is only till about Porvoo and from there it is normal roads. It was winter and snowing but the roads are OK and I made it in few hours drive. There are many stopover stations on the way,...
Knutt Says: Of course there are also 'modern' shops in Lappeenranta and quite a big shopping center but I liked those tiny shops in the traditional wooden houses much more.
Gili_S Says: I cannot think of unique item that you can get in Lappeenranta, but if you just need to do some shopping, beside the city centre stores there is this small mall also there in the city.
yumyum Says: The Finns are very clear about where your doggie is allowed to go and where not. Like this "doggie parking" in front of a restaurant at the lakeside.
Gili_S Says: Well, those are Karelian pies, (karjalanpiirakka) they are common all over Finland but here in south Karjala they are the best, I never had such as good ones as I had in my hotel breakfast
Gili_S Says: This can refer to any place, not particular here, but this picture was taken here, so when hanging around in the winter, be careful, as the sun shines the snow might fall off the roof.
Gili_S Says: If you visit in the winter, remember to take your best jacket, woollen hat & socks, gloves & scarf and your best winter shoes.If you visit during the summer, forget about all the above list, just remember swimsuit
lehmus Says: Ok... I spent something over two months of grueling work at the strawberry farm... It almost killed me but otherwise I had a great time. I have some not so happy memories connected with that place and the following year, but smeg it. Let's remember the good, forget the bad!
Gili_S Says: Walking around in the city and particular in the fortress area there are many old wooden houses, which are interesting to see. Some houses turn to museum but in some, families are still living in
Gili_S Says: Lappeenranta is just about average Finnish town, but it has its few unique things to see and to feel here. The fortress and the Saimaa Lake are just great. Also, as its near the Russian border has the influence on the culture and economy here.Most important, people in this...
Me? Believing everything? No way!
sabsi Says: We were sitting on the hill where the fortress is admiring the little islands. I pointed to one of them, not far from where we were, and said "I'd love to go there". Timi said "We can't, that's Russia". And stupid me believed him.... Anyway, I can assure ya it's not THAT...
