GUIDED TOURS IN JOENSUU

Joensuu guides are glad to welcome you to cheerful eastern Finland!

The town of Joensuu was founded at the mouth of River Pielisjoki in 1848. It was a small town with only two hundred inhabitants. The town has grown from those days in both area and population. Today, Joensuu is the biggest town in North Karelia and it has 34 km of common border with Russia. Joensuu is a mixture of a lively city and idyllic countryside with some 77,000 inhabitants, including ca. 20,000 students. The City Hall (1914) was designed by architect Eliel Saarinen.

Karelian lifestyle and captivating atmosphere in the various events will charm any holiday maker.
