Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Boutiques, beautiful garden, extremely good lakeside cafe and a small farm animal yard
    Kenkävero is an interesting complex which consists of a free garden, some boutiques, the Cudgel War memorial, Santa's summertime hideaway, a restaurant and a lakeside cafe. Santa's summertime hideaway was a flop, just a small cottage and no Santa himself anywhere. But I loved boutiques and the beautiful garden. There were also some sheep and chickens in the garden. And my absolute favorite was the lakeside cafe (Rantakahvila or Rantapaviljonki). The interior was very stylish and they had a nice summer terrace, too. My smoothie and cheese cake were very delicious.

    Part of Finnish identity
    One of great persons in the history of Finland. Commander of army, president, explorer, power figure. Army headquarters have been located in Mikkeli for ages so there is an extra meaning for him in Mikkeli.

    Interesting art exhibition and observation deck 71 meters above the surface of Lake Saimaa
    Naisvuori Observation Tower (Naisvuoren näkötorni) is a great place to see the whole city center at one time. Buy extremely cheap tickets from the cafeteria and then you may climb up the stairs. There isn't any lift there. There are changing exhibitions on the second floor. This time there was a very interesting art exhibition there.

    On the top floor you see very beautiful views: the city center, lakes and forests. The tower is 27 meters tall and it is situated 71 meters above the surface of Lake Saimaa. The tower was built in 1911.

    Amazing place
    This one of the biggest scouldrons or devil´s churns in Finland. It has been formed by water whirling through the thick melting glazier at the last era of the Ice Age. It is 8 meters deep if I remember correctly. Absolutely worth visiting!

    Quite a small museum
    This Mikkeli's museum of cultural history exhibits the history of Mikkeli and its region.

    The museum is located in a stone building completed in 1848.

    The museum's permanent exhibition presents the peasant culture of South Savo, as well as the history of the city of Mikkeli.
