Tammisaari Travel Guide

 Gili_S Says:  Obviously the most interesting thing in this location is the sea, in the summer of course. So have your swimsuit ready, suntan oil and a cold drink and hit it to the beach. 

 maria_hz Says:  This is a popular beach, although a bit out of the way for most tourists. It is located in Leksvall about 7 kms from the centre (a bike-ride away). There are no facilities such as toilet, and café but plenty of fresh water! This place is not entirely easy to find, but as... 

 maria_hz Says:  Being a coastal town, Ekenäs boasts nice beaches close to the centre of town. The public beaches are maintained by the municipality and water quality monitored regularly. The quality is generally good, even though the water is not clear. It is generally decently warm (18-22... 

 maria_hz Says:  The old stone church of Ekenäs is the second oldest in the country. It was built in 1680s by the local elite as the previous church had by this time become too small to accommodate the churchgoers of the town. The style is a Nordic version of baroque architecture, plain but... 

 maria_hz Says:  Ekenäs is one of the most charming towns in Finland on account of it's well preserved old town. The grid of old town streets still today reflects the medieval structure of the town, as Ekenäs escaped the street modernisation that sweeped Sweden and Finland in the 17th... 

 Gili_S Says:  This restaurant, Knipan is probably the most famous and maybe also the best in Tammisaari. In my last visit I had my dinner here, it was excellent and I enjoy the nice view by the sea.

 Gili_S Says:  Yep, there is one Mexican places here and not surprising it called Santa Fe, but I am not sure if it is related to the one in Helsinki. 

 Gili_S Says:  This local coffee shop just by the K market store is excellent with quality coffee and cakes. We had wonderful breakfast here. 

 Gili_S Says:  Right in the centre of the city, there is this nice chinese restaurant, nothing special with it, but after a long day by the sea, it was nice to get some quick food. 

 maria_hz Says:  The kungsgatan (Kuninkaankatu in Finnish) street is a shopping street just in the fashion much favoured these days; small-scale shops a few cafes along a quiet walking street. Around Christmas, the street is decorated with lights and shop-keepers compete for the title of the... 

 maria_hz Says:  In the height of summer, during weekends and holidays in July and August, the locals take their boats to their summer cottages out in the archipelago to spend some quality time in the helm of Mother Nature. Preferably by the sound of lapping waves and relaxing with a cold...
