The easiest way to explore the star-shaped fortifications and the centre of Hamina with its idyllic old wooden houses is to wander around on foot. Drop in at one of the many churches and museums or search for a bargain at the market, the fairs or boutiques. The region just beyond the historical centre – Tervasaari, the surrounding countryside, the sea and the fishing villages in the beautiful archipelago – are also well worth a visit.

Catch the modern beat of present-day Hamina and the memorable tales of yesteryear.

Let Hamina charm you!
