Vaasa is a real water-lover’s paradise. There are seven great beaches in close proximity to the city centre, and the region is reputed to be the sunniest in Finland. But if sand and sun’s not quite your thing, you’ll find there’s loads of other great attractions vying for your attention – relax and unwind at luxurious spas, dream the day away in cosy little cafes or check out cultural events, like Vaasa Choir Festival or the Night of Arts.
