about Lappeenranta

Lappeenranta, or Villmanstrand in Swedish, is a town and municipality that resides on the shore of the lake Saimaa in South-Eastern Finland, about 30 km from the Russian border. Pop. 58,897 (December 31, 2003), area 848 km². The town was chartered in 1649 by Queen Christina of Sweden, legitimizing the trade at the then popular marketplace of Lapvesi.

The closeness to the Russian border is these days clearly visible in the number of Russian tourists visiting the city. In fact, Saint Petersburg is closer (211 km) to Lappeenranta than Helsinki (221 km).

Lappeenranta is also the home of the Lappeenranta University of Technology.

Lappeenranta sights

Lappeenranta is known as a summer city, mostly due to its closeness to Saimaa. In addition, its location away from the Baltic Sea means that summers tend to be warmer and winters colder than elsewhere in Finland.

Good places to visit are

  • The old fort area with a number of museums and cafes.
  • The harbour, which has cruises available to the nearby Saimaa Canal and to Vyborg.
  • The water tower, which gives a good view all over the city.
  • The central market place, from which you can buy local meat pies known as "Atomi" or "Vety".
  • A yearly singing contest, the Lappeenranta National Singing Contest.
