Rauma: Tie 8 - Luostarinkylä - Ramppi/kiertoliittymä2
The landscape around Rauma is low, forested and shaped by the Baltic coast, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. The city stands on Finland’s Bothnian Sea coast, where industry, shipping and a working port remain important parts of the local economy. Inland approaches pass through the pine and mixed forests typical of this part of Satakunta. Rauma is best known for Old Rauma, a UNESCO World Heritage site whose tightly packed wooden houses and lanes preserve the character of a Nordic trading town. Its maritime traditions are also reflected in lace-making, a long-established local craft celebrated each year during Rauma Lace Week.

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.

The terrain of Finland ranges from low coastal plains along the Gulf of Bothnia to fells in Lapland, creating a country of forests, lakes and long northern distances. More than 180,000 lakes shape everyday life, while the Lakeland region is threaded with waterways and islands. Helsinki, on the Gulf of Finland, combines neoclassical landmarks around Senate Square with contemporary Finnish design. Farther north, the Sámi are Finland’s only recognised Indigenous people, and their culture remains closely connected to the Arctic region. In winter, snow and ice transform the north; in summer, long daylight extends outdoor life well into the evening. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Finland.
