Rauma is a city of the sparkling sea and two World Heritage Sites. Old and new at the same time, but above all original, Rauma is the favourite destination for travellers in every way. The secret behind the unique atmosphere in Rauma is the versatility – it’s a combination of layers of history and the present day.

Two of the seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Finland are located in Rauma: the charming Old Rauma with its wooden houses and the Bronze Age burial site of Sammallahdenmäki. The atmospheric town by the sea does not end to the seafront: the diverse archipelago offers stunning islands to visit. The freshness of the mild sea breeze and the sound of the waves relax the mind on a memorable trip in Rauma archipelago.

The strongest embodiment of the easygoing originality of Rauma is the local dialect, Rauma language – rauman giäl. The city of sea, culture and events welcomes the visitors uniquely: Ol niingon gotonas – Make yourself at home!
