Art walk through the city center
The Sculpture Promenade of Contemporary Art with a length of approx. 2 kilometres traverses the centre of Kotka. The Linden Boulevard running parallel with Keskuskatu street won a national environmental structure award in 2001, when the first sculptures were also unveiled. In 2004, the Association of Finnish Sculptors granted the Pro Sculptura medal to the Sculpture Promenade. More than 20 sculptures have been placed between Port Kantasatama and Haukkavuori over a distance of approx. 2 kilometres. The sculptures are within a short walking distance of each other, and along the route there are cafes, restaurants, playgrounds and park benches if you wish to rest for a while. There is a separate brochure of the Sculpture Promenade.

Artful walk through the city
Fantastic free art collection showcasing the city. Walk by the route to see city's main attractions and 37 artworks tightly packed along the route. Info signs about the pieces are mostly missing which is shame. You have to follow the web page to get information about artworks. This is great way to combine city walk and art spotting. Interesting also for kids. You can find playgrounds along the route in the city center.

Beautiful Finnish art
I stopped to watch this beautiful sculpture. At the time I arrived to Kotka the weather was quite bad and it was too dark to enjoy fully the place and the promenade. If you make it on a nice sunny day, don't miss it!
