Rauma

Rauma straddles the mouth of the Rauma River in Mainland Finland, and its position on the Gulf of Bothnia has long connected the town with shipping, shipbuilding and trade. UNESCO-listed Old Rauma is among the Nordic countries’ largest surviving coherent wooden-town areas, with more than 600 buildings along streets rebuilt after a fire in 1682. Wooden houses, workshops and former merchants’ homes preserve the scale of a working coastal town rather than a museum quarter. Rauma is also known for its bobbin-lace tradition, celebrated during the annual Lace Week.
