Latest Loviisa hotel reviews
Gili_S Says: Those are traditional style wooden houses, they are not old, they just built in an old design style, and you will see such in many old cities around Finland.
Gili_S Says: The harbour area is maybe the nicest and relax place to visit with lots of boats and nice terraces to have a drink and relax with the warm sunshine in the summer.
Gili_S Says: You can visit the Loviisa sea museum, not exactly spectacular one and I did not went inside this time, maybe if it was raining I would ;-)
Gili_S Says: This is the Church of Loviisa, it is in the city centre in the end of the boulevard, you surely can’t miss it.
Sininen Says: Bongan Linna is renovated by an artists couple Riitta Nelimarkka and Jaakko Seeck and is nearly 100 years old. In its museum gallery there are over 200 works by Nelimarkka from abt. 20 years. From colourful art textiles to oil paintings and drawings. Gallery is open for...
Sininen Says: Loviisa Church was designed by Georg Chiewitz in neo-gothic style and was finished in 1865.

Sininen Says: Loviisa's Town Hall and church were designed by Georg Chiewitz and are thought as his best works. Town Hall is from 1862.
Gili_S Says: Café Saltbodan is one at the harbour, very cosy and nice terrace to sit in on a nice sunny day.
Gili_S Says: There are few cafes to chose from in the harbour, I would say, just pick the one which have the best table in the sun ;-)
It is simple to reach Porvoo...
LysDor Says: It is simple to reach Porvoo and Loviisa by car from Helsinki; it´s 40 minutes to Porvoo and about 60 minutes to Loviisa. But if one want´s to have a good sightseeing of the eastern coast, why not try one of these boat trip to Porvoo!More information can be found...

Gili_S Says: This is not exactly the lighthouse we came for, but it is not such a bad one either, in case you visit with kids it will keep them busy... for a while ;-)
Gili_S Says: This is relatively small city with small centre of older city and lots of space of green gardens and fields. Great place to live in for environmentalist if you don’t mind the nuclear power station near by ;-)
Gili_S Says: While you walk in the forest, take the path to the top of the hill there is also a view tower where you can climb up and see the nice view of Loviisa.
Gili_S Says: As this is a relatively small city you can easily take a short hike to the beautiful forest just up the hill.
Gili_S Says: Everything in Loviisa is in a distance walking, so just rake it easy and stroll around the city. There is also the older part of the city with some very nice old building.
LysDor Says: In Loviisa old town center you will findan active market place the Town Hall and the Loviisa Church. Those houses survived the 1855 fire. Not maybe so many shops nor narrow street views, but walking from the market place to the harbour through this area is nice.

Loviisa is a small town to the east of Helsinki about one hour drive. It has nice nature and sea around and can be a nice place for an hour break if you visit the region.

I had a friend from Eastern Finland visiting me last week and we had already decided last year that we'd visit Porvoo together. When she came I suggested that we'd drive back to Lahti via Loviisa and...

Keep your doors locked and windows up
This is Loviisa. And me. And in the background, the bike that cost far too much money in Savonlinna. The expresson says it all. That and the fact I'd been riding since 9am with only one break.
