Lovisa is a coastal town on the southern shore of Finland, in Europe. It is a place for a slow visit: a walk through its old streets, a look at the harbour, and time spent at the sea's edge.

What to see

The town is known for its well-preserved wooden architecture and for its colourful buildings from the 18th century, which line its cobblestone streets. Lovisa was founded in 1745, and that history is still visible in the way the centre has been kept. Walking the streets on foot is the simplest way to take it in.

The picturesque harbour is at the heart of the town's character, linking its past to its present as a maritime place. Local museums also offer a closer look at the town's story.
