Rauma

Rauma is a town of around 39,600 inhabitants (31 August 2017). It is situated on the west coast of Finland, more or less 92 kilometres north of Turku. Rauma is known in Finland for its paper and maritime industry, high quality lace and the old wooden architecture of its town centre, which is a UNESCO world heritage site. Places that I recommend when roaming Rauma would firstly be the old city, this gives you an idea of the typical architecture, as well as the individuality of the wooden

houses painted with vibrant colours that was common in Finland several hundred years ago. In the old town there are cafes, typical Finnish handcraft shops and much more! There are several churches to explore, as well as ruins from when the town was burnt to the ground during the medieval era.
