Happenings

olavinlinna castle and museums

In Savonlinna, history and local culture are always close by. The iconic Olavinlinna Castle offers guided tours and hosts the Savonlinna Opera Festival in July, and it’s only about 1.5 km from Spahotel Casino along a scenic lakeside route.

Next to the castle, Riihisaari, the Savonlinna Museum features changing exhibitions in cultural history and art. In Punkaharju, the Finnish Forest Museum Lusto explores forest culture and the relationship between people and forests, and it’s easy to reach by train or by car.
