Sights and attractions in the Vaasa Region

Do you dare to embark on an adventure outside your comfort zone? New experiences have been proven to expand a person's perception of the world. We do not recommend venturing into unfamiliar terrain without a map, but guided activities and unique local experiences can also push boundaries.

Kvarken World Heritage Archipelago

The unique Kvarken Archipelago is Finland's only Natural World Heritage Site on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Together with Sweden's High Coast, the Kvarken Archipelago is the best place in the world to experience and understand the land uplift phenomenon caused by the last Ice Age.
