This historic city on Finland’s west coast has a rich past with some charming architectural gems - such as the former 18th-century Court of Appeal (today’s Korsholm Church). Its close links to Sweden - across the Gulf of Bothnia - are also reflected in a bilingual population and ferry links to its Scandinavian neighbour. As well as being a thriving centre of the industry, it is also a popular university city, boasting not one but three such centres of learning - meaning that those eyeing up a visit are as likely to be in the city for business or study as they are for a little coastal sightseeing or fun at the Tropiclandia and Wasalandia amusement parks. But, whatever your reason for visiting, you’ll want to make sure you’re in excellent accommodation. Continue reading to delve more into the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Vaasa, Finland.
