Joensuu: A City That Never Gets Old

Joensuu is the gateway to Koli National Park, where Finland's father of music, Jean Sibelius, once brought his piano to the forested mountaintop to perform the iconic 'Finlandia Hymn.'

Located at the mouth of the Pielisjoki River, Joensuu was historically an important timber rafting route and rose to prominence due to the timber industry. The river also blesses the city with stunning landscapes that blend water and mountains seamlessly.

Throughout Joensuu, you'll find architecture infused with Russian charm, such as the green-domed church. This vibrant and artistic Finnish town is a place you'll never tire of exploring!
