Beautiful promenade

This central 800-meter-long pedestrian street is bordered by two parallel rows of linden trees. The first trees were planted as early as the 19th century. Later there were many sculptures added and today it is called Kotka Sculpture Promenade.

    The most beautiful street in Kotka
    This is part of the "Sculpture Promenade" and as such contains many interesting and original artworks. We were fortunate enough to visit on a relatively sunny day after a cold period and saw the whole Esplanade lit to its best advantage. Quite apart from the artworks, the Linden trees are what make this street. Some of them were planted over 120 years ago and join with the Linden trees in the Sibelius Park to make a stunning vista. In the winter, I've seen extremely original-looking illuminations attached to the trees. There are several good restaurants and cafes on and just off the Esplanade which makes it even more worthwhile if you're a glutton for Finnish food like me.

    central
    This is central street in Kotka. It's quite nice and green (in summer). It is also part of sculpture promenade.
