About Vaasa
Vaasa is the bilingual (Finnish/Swedish) capital of Ostrobothnia on Finland's west coast, situated on the Gulf of Bothnia. Founded in 1606 and rebuilt after an 1852 fire, the city is noted for its handsome 19th-century urban planning, the nearby Kvarken Archipelago UNESCO World Heritage Site, and daily ferry connections to Umeå, Sweden.
The Kvarken Archipelago, a UNESCO World Heritage site just offshore, is the premier natural attraction — a unique landscape continuously rising from the sea due to post-glacial rebound. Old Vaasa preserves the atmospheric ruins of the original town, including the medieval St. Mary's Church. The contemporary city center offers the Kauppapuistikko esplanade, the Market Hall, and the architecturally diverse university campuses along the waterfront.
