Two UNESCO World Heritage Sites – one city
Did you know that in Rauma, you can visit two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in just one day? Here, the past meets the present, and culture blends with nature in a way that leaves a lasting impression on your heart.
Old Rauma – A Living Wooden Town & a Photographer’s Dream
Old Rauma is not a museum – it’s a genuine, inhabited medieval wooden town. Narrow alleys, colorful houses, lace-decorated windows, and mysterious courtyards make this destination a visual experience. It’s the perfect place for an adventure with your camera – a dream location for the urban explorer, where every new street view is more stunning than the last.
But Old Rauma is more than just pretty corners: it’s local life, traditional craftsmanship, boutique shops, cafés, and culture. Here, you can soak up the atmosphere of history without rush – just be present and breathe it all in.

Sammallahdenmäki – Peace, Stones, and a Touch of Timelessness
Sammallahdenmäki is the perfect destination for those looking to combine a nature hike with history. Bronze Age burial cairns rise from the pine forest like ancient works of art, surrounded by peaceful silence.
Here, you can feel the layers of nature and time: you calm down, marvel, and maybe even find inspiration. Sammallahdenmäki is ideal for nature lovers and those who see cultural heritage as more than just stones – it’s a connection to the past and to your own inner self.
