WELCOME TO THE KUOPIO REGION The Kuopio region is situated in central Finland, in the verdant province of North Savo, which is interspersed with thousands of lakes. The region can be reached in less than an hour by air from Helsinki, the capital of Finland, and by road or rail the journey only takes a few hours. The backdrop for the summer atmosphere in the Kuopio region is provided by lakes and islands, great to explore on boat cruises, as well as by the landscape of forest-covered hills. Boating, hiking and other forms of outdoor recreation are really spoilt for choice here. The region also boasts a wide variety of cultural activities and events. The lakes, which abound with fish, guarantee good catches throughout the year. Leisure spas with their bubbling pools and baths offer relaxation and invigoration whenever you feel the need. Come and have a great holiday - on your own or as a group. We’ll do our best to ensure that you have fond memories to take back home with you. This website is a joint production of Kuopio-Info / Kuopio Tourist Service Ltd and Kuopio Region Marketing. Browse around the pages to find out about tourist facilities and services in the city of Kuopio (and Vehmersalmi) and the 8 smaller towns and districts in the region (Kaavi, Karttula, Leppävirta, Nilsiä, Rautavaara, Siilinjärvi, Tervo and Tuusniemi). |
