Get in

Despite being located in the southern parts of Finland, it is not as well connected as the neighboring provinces. There are direct flights a day to Pori from Helsinki, but all train lines go to Tampere where you need to transfer. Hence, the transportation of choice should definitely be the bus - there are bus lines along the "coast highway", highway 8, as well as bus connections to both Pori and Rauma from both Helsinki and Tampere.

Get around

See

  • The old town of Rauma, an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
  • The Bronze Age burial site in Sammallahdenmäki, an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
  • Olkiluoto nuclear power plant in Eurajoki
  • Lake Pyhäjärvi

Itineraries

Do

  • Go swimming at Yyteri sand beach near Pori.
  • Listen to a jazz performance at the Pori Jazz festival or enjoy more modern music at the RMJ festival in Rauma each summer
