Lahti is on the southern shore of Lake Vesijärvi, about 60 miles inland from Helsinki. In the winter, its main attraction is skiing, although it is not a resort in the accepted sense. A stay in a Lahti apartment rental in winter will give you an opportunity to watch the ski jump championships which are held there every year, but of course the jumps are too dangerous to be open to the public. Even so, there are some lovely winter ski runs and walks which will be available from your Lahti holiday accommodation.

Being on the lake means that there are plenty of water sports on offer and what could be nicer than spending your Lahti holiday rental in the relaxing sport of fishing. Lakeside air is always very invigorating and you will probably get quite sleepy in your first few days in your Lahti aparthotel or holiday let, but do try to stay awake, because there are some absolutely fascinating museums in the town which really deserve a visit. The museum of military medicine is fascinating on all levels and it is not just one for the boys. You may do some skiing while you stay in a Lahti serviced apartment, but if you don’t you can still visit the skiing museum where you can do some ‘virtual’ jumps as well as see how the equipment has developed over time.

For a fairly quiet town, Lahti nightlife is quite surprising, as the clubs are open until four in the morning and there are plenty to choose from. You certainly will be spoiled for choice when you stay in a Lahti serviced residence – you could try a different cuisine every night. During the day, pop out from your Lahti holiday apartment for a coffee and a cake on the harbour – even trying a new cake every day you won’t get to taste them all!

When you are renting a Lahti city centre (center) apartment you will find yourself very near to lots of excellent shops, whether to buy yourself a little holiday treat or to take presents home to friends and family. There are craft shops in most of the shopping malls so you can choose something which you know is made locally because you will probably be buying it from the craftsperson themselves. A Lahti holiday let will give you the chance to see a typical Finnish town at its very best.

Serviced and self-catered apartments, flats, holiday lets and aparthotels can be up to 30% cheaper than most equivalent hotel rooms and are becoming increasingly popular due to the freedom they offer. Whether it’s a short stay apartment you are looking for or a long term apartment, our holiday apartments combine all the amenities and comforts of home.  With plenty of room why stay in a cramped hotel room when you can stay in spacious surroundings in and around Lahti city centre.
