Mikkeli is a pleasant town to walk, there are several nice places where a person could go, a visit to Cathedral church is always interesting,also is nice to wander trough their square and streets, but if you are interested in the recent history of Finlandia or in the II W.W you should go to Infantry Museum. It is in old Finnish Army barracks. Inside the Museum is possible to see weapons and uniforms used by Germany and Finnish Army during II WW, and the Winter War against the USSR. You can see several documentaries in adittion to models where this Winter battles took place. In my opinion is an atarction who whorth be visited. After your visit, if you want you can buy a souvenir or maybe, go for a walk across the Museum Gardens, ending you visit drinking a beer or a coffe in the Museum coffee shop.See more..
4.5Communications Centre Lokki(23 reviews) - Memorial of WW2 and communication Monday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Military Museums • Speciality Museums • History Museums
The communication centre of the Finnish army's headquarters, which was located in Mikkeli, was known by the code name, Lokki, which means "seagull" in Finnish. During the Continuation War of 1941-1944, the Lokki Communication Centre was based in a cave blasted into the side of Naisvuori hill. It handled the headquarters' telephone and telex traffic. The adjacent cave housed the regional air surveillance centre, the signalling station for the German link-up garrison and the sleeping quarters for the communication centre's staff. In addition, the cave contained working premises for Commander-in-Chief Mannerheim and his immediate subordinates. In the early 1990s, the Lokki Communication Centre's premises were skillfully restored to their appearance during the Continuation War.See more..

4.0Museum Juvan(2 reviews) - Усадебный музей Spent < 1 hour Speciality Museums • History Museums
Несмотря на то, что Партала в городке Юва, провинция Южное Саво Финляндии - усадьба королевская, музей в её амбаре, ну не в главном же здании - там отель - полностью посвящен быту простого народа этого региона - карелов. Совет: работает только летом, да и то не каждый день - выясняйте заранее, специально ехать вряд ли есть смысл, а вот в комплексе с усадьбой, ее ресторанчиком и трюфельной фермой можно.See more..
