 up in the air we'll go! by ZenLady34 This is an experience! See Savonlinna and near areas from air. See the lakes and tiny islands from air. I guess from the air one can realize how amasing the archipelago in the lake area really is! Vesiair Oy makes sightseeings by airplane for 1-6 persons. They will take you up in the air for app. 15minutes at a time. They dont have netpages but I saw their airplane standing quite close to city center and there is a mobilephone number (given below) where you can call if you are interested.

 Marketplace and hotel Seurahuone by Chatte40 ...go to Seurahuone, a hotell by the marketplace, and there to the 6th floor. There`s a terrace called "Muikkubaari". You can have a delicious plate of local fish (muikku) with/without owenpotatoes..While eating you can enjoy beautiful landscapes over the Savonlinna. The plate costs about 10 EUR, and it`s quite big, for small-hungry enough for two persons... Leave a Comment Directions: Just beside the marketplace Kauppatori.

 Detail of Wooden Church by fipsi 15km East of Savonlinna, in Kerimäki, the world's largest wooden church can be visited. It was donated by a former citizen who emigrated to the USA and was errected in 1847. It is said that the construction plans where written in foot, but the workers thought it was meters - and that's why the church became that huge. Leave a Comment Directions: Street No. 14 out of Savonlinna (North), then Street No. 71 with direction to "Antola"Website: www.kerimaki.fi

 Quite a dramatic setting for an opera festival by brazwhazz Built in 1475 to protect the eastern border of the Swedish empire against the Russians, Olavinlinna was nevertheless conquered by those very same Russians in the 18th century. (In fact, they built a bright yellow building that looks terribly out of place inside the otherwise medieval fortress.) Nowadays, Olavinlinna is home to the Savonlinna Opera Festival, which takes place every July. You may visit the castle, but only as part of one of the guided tours. Fortunately, the guides are very good and are fluent in several languages. They come around every hour on the hour to greet the visitors and take them on a 45-minute tour. When we were there, we picked the French guide because this meant that we would have a guide all to ourselves, as the others all went with the English one! :) At the end of the tour, you can visit two small exhibits on your own, one being about the history of the castle and the other about the Orthodox religion. The castle is open every day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., except in the summer when it remains open until 5 p.m. Leave a Comment

by Sininen From the harbour you can take boat trips to Lake Saimaa, Finland's biggest lake. We really enjoyed the few hour cruise on a sunny day. The photo in the main page was taken from the boat. Leave a Comment
