Interesting facts about Joensuu
A large city in Eastern Finland and the provincial capital of North Karelia, Joensuu is packed full of intriguing sights and attractions. The bustling, jovial town market is a must-see and the ideal place to experience North Karelia’s mouth-watering cuisine. When flying to Joensuu, be sure to admire the view from above: seeing Finland from the window of an aeroplane will help you understand where the nickname “The Land of a Thousand Lakes” comes from. Start planning your trip with this Finnair travel guide to Joensuu. Joensuu’s large student population gives the rapidly growing city a youthful atmosphere and there are plentiful bars to enjoy after dark. There’s no shortage of great places to eat out in the evenings, too—check out Teatteriravintola (Theatre Restaurant) in the town hall, which was designed by world-famous art nouveau architect Eliel Saarinen. There are also plenty of things to see and do in the daytimes. Wander around the centre of Keskusta and admire the charming traditional wooden homes near the Pielisjoki River. The wide streets were specifically designed to prevent fire from being able to easily spread through a wood-built town. Stroll along Kirkkokatu, pausing to visit the churches that sit at either end of the street. One is a wooden Orthodox church while the other is a large cathedral built in a Gothic style. Other interesting buildings in the city include the Art Nouveau City Hall, Joensuu Arena, which is the largest wooden building in all of Finland, and the modern Metla building within the university. Joensuu Art Museum offers a broad range of collections, as well as temporary exhibitions. Carelicum provides a peek into local customs, folklore, traditions and life, and the Bunker Museum gives interesting insights into the country’s defence systems during World War II. The old bunkers still contain weapons and wartime items. For a relaxing time in nature, visit Botania; the colourful botanical gardens also have a lovely butterfly house. Alternatively, the riverside beaches are nice places to unwind on a warm summer’s day. Joensuu’s shopping scene is similar to that in other major Finnish cities, with a mix of stores selling a wide range of items and bustling markets. The city centre is generally easy to navigate on foot and there are public buses to explore more of the wider area.Sights in Joensuu
