1. 5.0 Imatran Kalatalo (8 reviews)
   - Awesome shop!
   Saturday: 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Speciality & Gift Shops
   
   
   Came across this place while being on a business trip in South Carelia. The store itself is actually not that eminent from the first sight, but it's definitely worth visiting, especially if you are having a vacation or smth like that. The best thing about this shop is that it represents the combination of incompatible. There are a lot of different products available to buy, like multiple kinds of red fish, caviar, oils, even some top sweet-stuff! :) Imatran Kalatalo, guys thank you for such a warm reception!!! The best part was a salmon soup :) If I happen to be in Imatra again one day, I'll definitely come over again!!! See more..
   
2. 5.0 Malonsaari Island (4 reviews)
   - Upea luontokokemus / Wonderful nature experience
   Spent 1-2 hours Islands • Hiking Trails
   
   
   Upea luontokokemus jonne kuka tahansa voi mennä ilmaiseksi. Tämä on paikka, jossa voit todella tuntea luonnon lähelläsi. Ota aikaa ja nauti Saimaasta, kauniista luonnosta ja sen äänistä. Helppo mennä ja käydä myös pikavisiitillä, jos sinulla on vain tunti tai kaksi aikaa käytettäväksi luonnossa. Wonderful nature experience where anybody can go for free. This is place where you can really feel nature near you. Take time and enjoy lake Saimaa, beautiful nature and it sounds. Easy to go and also have a quick visit, if you have only hour or two to spend in nature. See more..

   - Be an idiot to miss out on this!
   Waterfalls
   
   
   Absolutely loved this and visited every single morning we were staying in Imatra. I've never seen anything as fierce as that but it was breath taking and perfectly placed for the best photos one will ever take. It's a no brainer to visit. Has some lovely places to have a break either side of it. See more..

8. 4.5 Lammassaari Island (21 reviews)
   - Lovely small walk
   Spent 1-2 hours Islands
   
   
   Went on a walk with a friend to lammassaari. It was a lovely place to make a small walk, on a sunny day, if you want to stay close to the center and if you don't want to go on a big hike that takes the whole day. There where a few birdwatching towers that where nice to go sit a little and enjoy the view. We picnicked there next to the water and because it was a warm day it was lovely to cool down, after the picknick, with our feet in the (little bit cold) water. See more..

10. 4.5 Church of St. Nicholas (9 reviews)
    - 60 лет храму
    Spent < 1 hour Religious Sites • Churches & Cathedrals
    
    
    2 октября Никольская церковь в Иматре отметила свое 60-летие. По человеческим меркам срок немалый. Да, казалось бы, и для деревянного здания тоже. Но - выглядит оно прекрасно! Простая архитектура, скромное убранство. Внутри недавно появился резной деревянный иконостас, очень украсивший церковь. А если вам доведется встретиться с настоятелем о. Тимо - знайте, что это очень добрый и умный священник, при том хорошо говорит по-русски. See more..

    This church is stunning. It is in a beautiful setting on the outskirts of a small town. The interior is beautiful with cool design, and it has two moving walls that allow the congregation area to expand 3 fold. Totally worth a stop if driving up towards Savonlinna. See more..

20. 4.0 Detachment Kuhlmey (7 reviews)
    - Вызывает уважение
    Historic Sites
    Финны чтут своих героев. Пусть их не так много, но всех их помнят. Памятник этот похож на множество таких же, раскиданных по просторам матушки России. Однако отношение местных жителей к нему совсем не такое, как у нас. Более трепетное что ли See more..

22. 3.0 Bloomit Imatra (6 reviews)
    - Уже не цветет
    Saturday: 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM Speciality & Gift Shops
    
    
    Магазин модной женской одежды из Европы в центре Иматры знавал видимо лучшие дни - его название означает "в полном цвету", но он уже не цветет - что делать по осени не только цыплят, но и отцветшие виды бизнеса считают. See more..
    
23. 3.0 Imatrankoski Church (5 reviews)
    - Imatrankosken kirkko
    Spent < 1 hour Religious Sites • Churches & Cathedrals
    
    
    Назвать это достопримечательностью достаточно сложно. Хотя и находится вроде в центре, однако найти её непросто - расположено внутри жилого района недалеко от берега Вуоксы. Если бы не массивный крест на фасаде - вообще не похожа на храм, обычное невысокое строение. Даже колокольня из бетона рядом больше напоминает пожарную каланчу, если бы не крест наверху. Построена была в 1954-м году. К сожалению была закрыта, единственное, что удалось выяснить - что летом не работает, а открывается за час до службы. Из всех немногих церквей маленькой Иматры - не интересна абсолютна как достопримечательность. Однако у местных жителей возможно другое мнение. See more..
    
24. 3.0 Rajamuseo Imatra (4 reviews)
    - Good history review of the border control in Finland

    This is a small exhibition of what border control has been doing in FInland for the past century or so. Thorough information, lots of photos and posing statues with different outfits for doing different tasks which have been required from the staff during war etc. We had an excellent guide explaining some of the details. He was a veteran, having served in duty for a long period of time, so he knew his business. See more..
