Old Rauma is very famous in Finland, as it's so original. They also make great lace in Old Rauma and they even have a special happening for it, it's called 'the night of the black lace'. Leave a Comment

This is a small but very nice Franciscan church in Rauma which is unusually decorated if you compare it to most of the Finnish churches (which are Lutheran). This is a very old building too but it's pretty well preserved. Leave a Comment

Old Rauma is the official #1 spot, of course, being on UNESCO's World Heritage list as a well conserved wooden city quarter. Don't mistake me, however, it's not a museum by any means. The buildings may be old as hell and made of wood, but that doesn't mean all kinds of shops aren't open in them these days -- electronics stores, clothing boutiques, banks, bicycle shops, everything. Old Rauma isn't celebrated by putting it in a glass jar, but by keeping it alive and well!
The Night of the Black Lace, in late June, is a night when the shops in the Old Rauma area are open very late, and people walk around wearing as much black lace clothing as they can find. It's a local festival, and though it's not as flashy and huge as the Rio carnivals, it's got a very lovely sort of old-time glamour about it. Leave a Comment
