Information by Rough Guides
RAUMA, 90km north of Turku, is one of the few places in Finland where you can't help but stop at every street corner to admire the elegance and understated charm of a town whose appearance has barely changed since the Middle Ages.

True, Rauma is becoming increasingly touristy, but the town still retains plenty of quiet lanes and alleyways where you can explore undisturbed.
