Kotka

Kotka - Broad range, pocket size
Kotka is on the Southeast coast of Finland at the Baltic Sea. By the Finnish Coastline right where the rapids of River Kymijoki, the biggest river in Southern Finland, rushes to meet the sea. The wonderful nature and city parks, dazzling history of the border region, outstanding cultural events and sights and thousands of friendly people welcome travellers for a memorable visit.

The port areas in Kotka are in the City Centre of Kotka on the main island of the town, and on the Mussalo island. Located a 90 minute drive to Helsinki and a 30 minute drive to the Russian border by the E18 motorway.

The port, of the unique city on an island, is located a stone’s throw away from all the experiences. Your guests will be able to experience, within a few hours, the soul of Finland - from the pulsating capital to the exotic nature, from pushing one’s limits to finding an inexplicably glorious peace of mind.
