Unfortunately it was always too cold for a swim :( The city centre isn't exactly beautiful.
In a nutshell
A nice summer city!
Sininen Says: Lahti Orthodox Parish is the only 'evacuee parish' in southern part of Finland. It was founded on 1.1.1950. Pyhan Kolminaisuuden kirkko church was consecrated again after the renovations on 6.1.2006 by Helsinki's Metropolite Ambrosius. I have never been inside this church...

Sibelius Hall - modern wooden architecture!

sabsi Says: In the skimuseum you can go (virtual) skijumping! The simulator will proportion your weight to the force of your legs and by counting the time you use for takeoff it will decide how far your jump will take you. The jumping experience feels very real, you can even hear the...
Turska Says: I had heard,that some people have driven from Tampere to Lahti just to eat here!I´m not sure is it true,but eating here was good experience.I might not drive this far just for food,but of course we had to go there,when we had heard all the good things.They make their pasta...
Ravintola Lokki (Seagull): Restaurant with a view
Sininen Says: Generally I don't go out to eat, because it is quite expensive and I prefer homecooking. When we take out our business partners for lunch in summertime we often choose Ravintola Lokki, not only because good food but also for the beautiful view from it to the Lake Vesijärvi....
Turska Says: Friend of mine told us to go here, because they had various different beers. It was tue, they did have many. Also many of those we hadn´t tasted before. The place itself isn´t so special looking, but it is part of it´s charm. We heard people next table to talk, that this has...
Finlandia klubi: Rock conserts
Turska Says: The place was really boring!! Like a school gym. It had white walls and drinks were at plastic-cups, poor selection and not cheap as you might think from plastic cups. And selction beeing beer or cider?Luckily the gig we saw made us forget where we are..There is seperate...
Turska Says: This is a small festival happening at May at Lahti.It keeps place at local brewery,so its called "isojano" witch means "very thirsty".We were disapointment for the beer-selection,when they said it would be hundreds,and it was only about 15!! Luckily we went there to see my...
Sininen Says: Lahti is not a railroad connection place, but has easy access to Helsinki with over 25 trains a day of which many are regional trains. It's easy to get to east from here, but if you want to travel to Tampere you have to change trains in Riihimaki and if you want to go to...
Sininen Says: Ugly building in the beginning of Aleksanterinkatu (main street in Lahti) is our bus station. Lahti is well connected by bus. For instance there is a bus to and from Helsinki every 30 minutes and one to/from Helsinki-Vantaa Airport every hour. 13 direct buses to Tampere...
Sininen Says: A traditional dessert at Easter is mämmi, which is made of rye flower, rye malt and water and seasoned. Before baked in the oven it has to go through natural sweeting progress and after baking it has to be stored in a cold place for 3-4 days before it is ready to eat....
Sweet bun filled with whipped cream
Sininen Says: Not a local custom only in Lahti but all of Finland, but I doubt that I'll ever create Finland page so I add this here. On Shrove Tuesday after hours of tobogganing with children we come home hungry. We have pea soup and dessert is sweet bun filled with whipped cream and jam...
Sininen Says: About two km from where I live is this small pond. In summer I like to go swimming there, first thing in the morning and last thing before I go to bed. Sometimes I take a walk around it or in its surroundings, or ride my bicycle as there are good paths for it too. A lovely...
OLD WOODEN HOUSES IN MYT?J?INEN
Sininen Says: Most old buildings have been pulled down years ago, but there are some beautiful colourful houses in Myt?j?inen still. They give you an idea what houses looked like in Finland decades ago. About two kilometres from the city centre, in the corner of H?meenlinnantie and Vanha...
Sininen Says: As far as I know the only Internet cafe in Lahti, 100 m from the railway station, next to hostel Patria. Most people have interenet connection at home so internet cafes are not really needed here. Open only until 18.00, prices I don't know. Free internet use you can find in...
Sininen Says: Third of the cultural centre is Lahti Adult Institute which offers all kinds of courses in different levels. From open university courses to pottery to computing. During the years I've studied French and Spanish there and have also taken courses in photography and joined the...
