Learn More about Jyväskylä

As a new town, Jyväskylä naturally lacks the charms of a historic city, but offers a beautiful area to explore. If you come in summer, be aware that the lack of night and the mosquitoes can be very annoying! Jyväskylä is an industrial and university town. It has a quiet and endearing side. Alvar Aalto was born here and spent a large part of his life here, and the city has inevitably left its mark. The city has dedicated a beautiful museum to him, which traces his work. On the way to the north and Lapland, Jyväskylä is an almost obligatory stop on the road, in the lake region. If the city is not particularly pretty, with only a church and a few buildings that offer a slight historical interest, the charm is elsewhere: Jyväskylä is composed of more than 300 lakes, which are spread all over the city centre. This makes it a great source of year-round activities, from swimming and windsurfing in summer to ice skating in winter. And, as with the rest of Finland, the main reason to visit is to explore the surrounding nature, and in Jyväskylä you'll find plenty of that. In the heart of the Lake District, also known as the Land of a Thousand Lakes, you will be in an absolutely exceptional environment for hiking, excursions, or safaris to discover the region's animals.
