Lappeenranta

The Lappeenranta Fortress is a must-see, offering a glimpse into the city's rich history. Other attractions include the South Karelian Art Museum, the Sandcastle, and the beautiful Lake Saimaa, perfect for boat tours and watersports.

The best time to visit Lappeenranta is during the summer months (June-August) when the weather is warm and the days are long, perfect for outdoor activities. However, the winter months (December-February) offer a magical experience with snow and ice activities.

Lappeenranta is a walkable city, especially the city center and fortress area. Public transportation, including buses, is available. Taxis and rental cars are also options for exploring the surrounding areas.
