Jyvaskyla Finland

Jyvaskyla is the largest city in the province of Central Finland. This university town is surrounded by hills, forests and hundreds of lakes. It is a pleasant and happening town that offers a wide range of events and it is home to significant museums. The main campus of the university located on Seminaarinmäki is a place worth checking out. There are many buildings by the famous architect Alvar Aalto, as well as by a couple of other renowned architects. The campus is also a botanical garden, serving as a conservation unit of plants used in research. Other interesting building by Alvar Aalto around the city are the Kaupunginteatteri, the town theatre, and the Alvar Aalto Museum, which is specialised in architecture and design and functions as the national and international centre on all things Aalto. It is located in a building designed by Aalto himself. Another building worth visiting is the Petäjävesi Old Church, a UNESCO’s world heritage site and a prime example of Nordic wooden architecture. As a university city, Jyvaskyla has a lively nightlife. Nightlife is centred in the downtown part of Kauppakatu and cross streets, some also in the uptown part of Kauppakatu, near the University. As most of the bars are situated on Kauppakatu or very close to it, pub crawls can be easily arranged in Jyvaskyla. Start from Yläkaupunki and work your way down to the clubs in Alakaupunki. The heart of the city, the pedestrian street, runs through the stone compass pattern at the junction of Asemakatu and Kauppakatu. The compass is the most popular meeting place in the centre. The centre of Jyvaskyla provides a pleasant setting for shopping, wandering around and enjoying a relaxing cup of coffee or tea.
