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.

What travellers are saying
- SonjaJyväskylä, Finland47 contributionsI go there almost every week with my poodle-puppy Pupu. This is very peaceful place and you always hear and see some birds, fish, butterflies, squirrels etc. It's nice to have a place like this so near the center in Jyväskylä.Written 3 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TarjiaKlaukkala, Finland257 contributionsMain buildings are designed by Alvar Aalto. The oldest buildings are from late 19th century. Beautiful gardening.
A real campus area, rare in Finland. Beautiful especially during the autumn with all the colours of the trees and plants.Written 8 October 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The view is incredible especially at sunset.Written 21 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Marcus DTartu, Estonia1,214 contributions.... you need to be either a fan of the architect Alvar Aalto or an architect to really benefit from making the 40km round trip from Jyväskylä.
The intriguing aspects, for me, are the thought that the main council chamber must lack natural lighting (but I've not been inside yet); the light and airiness of the unroofed courtyard with it's rectangular water feature; and the juxtaposition of the concrete steps leading up to the entrance to the Town Hall and the turf steps on the other side of the courtyard.
This is my second visit. Four years ago I forgot to take a camera.Written 8 September 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They have very nice ice creams too.Written 16 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JariJKKouvola, Finland6,903 contributionsVesilinnan näkötorni (Vesilinna Observation Tower) or Harjun torni (Harju Tower) is a free observation tower. You see the whole center and surrounding lakes from there. View is very beautiful.
The observation tower has the same opening hours as Vesilinna Restaurant. You can take a free lift (an elevator), which goes almost to the top. You have to walk only last steps. There is a roof on the observation deck. So you can admire the scenery in rainy days, too. Besides, in sunny days the observation deck may be quite hot.
"A song for the native place" is played from the tower every summer evening at 8 p.m. This was a very nice experience, too.Written 30 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The church represents both Romanesque and Gothic styles.Written 24 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mikael FHelsinki, Finland31,139 contributionsThis 480-meter long bridge completed in 1989 connects the city center via Lutakko to Kuokkala. When completed, it was Finland's fourth-longest road bridge.
The bridge has very busy car traffic. Ylistö pedestrian bridge is much nicer for walking. Both have panoramic lake views.Written 25 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Especially from the top of the stairs, where you have a direct view all the way down to the lake. The steps on both sides of the steep hill are popular with step runners.Written 8 October 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- heikkih722Helsinki, Finland1,635 contributionsFine old building on Vapaudenkatu. As you walk up Asemakatu you will come directly to City Hall. It is worth admiring the building from the outside, even if you cannot enter.Written 1 December 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
