The port city of Vaasa is located on the Gulf of Bothnia and is connected to the Swedish city of Holmsund by ferry. Vaasa is such a diverse city that there is something for everyone. The harbor city itself, which was founded in 1606 by the Swedish King IX Wasa, is lively and urban and offers its visitors first-class culinary experiences in upscale restaurants. If you want to enjoy the nature around Vaasa, you can hop on your bike and go on a variety of cycling tours against the backdrop of the archipelago. Not only Finnish culture is present here, but also Swedish - around 25% of Vaasa's inhabitants speak Swedish.
