Kuopio General Information
Some 385 km northeast of Helsinki, the tidy city of Kuopio is the heart of Northern Savonia, Finland. Kuopio is not only a compact microcosm of Finland but one that percolates with abundant charisma. The city of 93,000 people is also a telltale study in contrasts. On the one hand, Kuopio’s urban density is without rival in the country, with the notable exception of cosmopolitan capital Helsinki. Conversely, on the other hand, the city’s awesome backdrop of lakes and forests seems to go on forever. With the best of both worlds in store, visitors dutifully succumb to Kuopio’s charms with predictable frequency. ... Read more »
Amid the saunas and ski jumps resides a convivial and affable university town full of vibrant cafés, restaurants and bars. Kuopio was a finalist for the 2012 Winter Youth Olympics, which partly explains the city’s allure. Points of interest to tick off the Kuopio itinerary include the Orthodox Church Museum, Puijo Hill and Panorama Tower, and Snellman Home Museum. The Old Kuopio Museum and Kuopio Art Museum provide a singular glimpse into the city and Northern Savonia region. Last but not least, the massive Jätkänkämppä Smoke Sauna offers a memorable experience like no other in Finland.
