Situated on the west coast of Finland, tourists have long enjoyed Pori’s mix of unique natural and cultural attractions. For travelers who love the seaside, the beaches of Yyteri, with their 6 km of rolling dunes, are among the finest in Europe. Incredible views can be had from the Yyteri Observation Tower (63m high) of the nearby islands of Mäntyluoto, Reposaari, and Ahlainen. The unique wetlands nature of Satakunta is explored in the Ark Nature Centre, just one of many fine museums in the area. Pori also hosts the world-famous 5-day Pori Jazz Festival, the Pori International Folk Culture Festiva, and the charming Lainsuojattomat Festival.
