Hanko

Hanko combines the open horizon of the Baltic Sea with the sheltered character of a peninsula town in a way that reflects its position at Finland’s southern tip. Long beaches, smooth granite outcrops and pine woods give the coast a distinctly maritime feel, while the harbour has long connected the town with sea traffic beyond the Gulf of Finland. Hanko developed as a seaside spa resort in the late 19th century, and its streets still include wooden villas and buildings from that era. Swedish and Finnish are both part of everyday local life, reflecting the cultural character of Finland’s southern coast.
