Landmarks in Jyväskylä
Every city has its own landmarks, recognisable buildings or monuments, which travellers want to see and experience during their visit. In Jyväskylä visitors are greeted, for instance, by the Kuokkala bridge, the Vesilinna observation tower on the Harju ridge or the Matti Nykänen’s hill. Many of Jyväskylä’s landmarks look particularly appealing during the darkest time of the year since the buildings also often double as light art installations.
