Kajaani, the capital of the Kinuu region has a population of roughly 37,000. The town was established in the 1600s and grew as the tar industry developed. In the 1700s, Kajaani was overtaken by the Russians who destroyed the once iconic Kajaani Castle, which formally served as the town’s centre point and prison. Though only the ruins of the castle remain, there’s much to see in Kajaani. Visitors can explore Rokua and Hiidenportti National Parks, as well as the Kajaani Art Museum and Paltamon vanha kirkko, a gorgeous church that dates back to 1726. With those sites in mind, take a look at some of the top 10 Airbnbs around town.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 05, 2024.
