Art Nouveau Treasure
This is the home of one of Finland's most important architects. It takes a while to get to by train and bus, but worth the trip if you have the time. Amazing estate in the beautiful countryside, wonderful Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau buildings, mostly to myself in the height of the summer tourist season. Wonderful walks in woods, country lanes.

worth a train and cab ride.
A must see if your into Finnish design. A beautiful house and museum set on the lake. Very detailed back store about 3 Finnish designers (Saarien, Lindgren, Gesellius) who used this as a summer house for inspiration. If the weather is nice - enjoy s stroll down by the lake. Getting there will mean either renting a car, or taking a train+taxi ride from the station (about 10 minutes) the small store at the train station will call you a cab for 1 Euro. The cab ride is about 15 Euro - ask for the desk at the museum to call a return cab when you are done.
