Jyväskylä's pedestrian precinct, rated Findland's best, teems with life: approximately 80 000 townspeople and visitors pass through the area each day. Quality restaurants turn locally sourced ingredients into gastronomic delights, while modern shopping centres provide irresistible to young and old alike. Simultaneously, however, just a stone's throw from the city centre, untouched nature can be found in abundance - great places to fish or do some white water rafting, hiking and fitness trails, woods that yield a colourful harvest of mushrooms and berries.

In Jyväskylä winter means a chance to skate and ski on lake ice. In summer Lake Jyväsjärvi and Finland's second largest lake, Päijänne, offer boundless potential for boaters and fishing enthusiasts.

In late summer Neste Oil Rally Finland brings Jyväskylä conspicuously to the world's attention. In the heart of summer Jyväskylä Festival, the oldest cultural event of its kind in Finland, lays on a stunning programme of music and non-verbal theatre that features top artists from home and abroad.

And since we're in Finland, let's not forget sauna. In the tranquillity of the sauna the daily grind is quickly forgotten, and in the best case there's a chance to swop bake for lake, and take a refreshing plunge. In recent years the Jyväskylä Region has been fashioned into a centre of sauna culture.
