Plenty of accommodation options

A place to rest your head at the end of the day or to take a break before the end-of-day shenanigans is an essential part of a holiday. A hotel or your own cottage is the best place to stay, some say. Others prefer homestays in the local style. For others, a campsite is the best, where you can meet like-minded people – other cottagers and caravanners. Either way, you need accommodation, because it’s easy to stay longer in Kotka.

All the best places to visit in Kotka can be found on the VisitKotkaHamina website. We especially recommend trips to Finland’s most award-winning parks, the beautiful archipelago, the Kymijoki River, the Vellamo Marine Centre and the Maretarium Aquarium. Also worth experiencing are the concerts of the Kymi Symphony Orchestra and the performances of the Kotka City Theatre. For those interested in architecture and design, Alvar Aalto’s Sunila is a must-see. There are plenty of cafés and restaurants to satisfy your hunger and, of course, “posso” from the market.
