CRUISING ON A STEAM-BOAT
This is something unique to cruise on a slow-pace steam-boat – a must-try if you are not sea-sick! There are different options from 2 hours' trip with dinner served on board to the possibility of sailing from Kuopio to Savonlinna.
These ships were specially designed for cargo purposes but quickly had also passengers and are well manoeuvreble in narrow locks. I used to go several times for short evening dinner cruises after work – pure pleasure!
Here are some prices (1.1.2001):

Old Kuopio Museum (Korttelimuseo)
Old Kuopio museum consists of eleven old wooden houses which form an enclosed block. A nice way to see how they use to live and work in the beginning of the 19th century.

This is the Kuopio city hall located just in the middle of the city. I think there is information office inside where you can get free brochures, but I didn't check it out.
