One night in Hämeenlinna







Last weekend we had a chance to travel without the kids. We chose Hämeenlinna for a quick weekend getaway.

In the afternoon we went to the movies. The night started with flair bowling at First Corner, in Tiiriö. Later it was time to enjoy good dinner at Popino, located in the centre.

Then we went to Birger for a beer. When returning to the hotel, we checked Julian Rock performing at Tawastia Bank.

Hämeen linna





The Häme Castle is a beautiful sight, located in the city of Hämeenlinna. Construction was started sometime in the 13th Century, and it served as a jail for more than a hundred years, until 1972. It was then carefully restored to it's former glory as a museum. There are also several other museums (Prison Museum, Artillery Museum) in the castle's area.
