Joensuu Travel Guide
Finland
Joensuu is a city of 53,388 people in eastern Finland. It is a practical base for exploring the surrounding Finnish lake and forest country, with a distinctly seasonal climate and cold, snowy winters.
Most visitors arriving by air use Joensuu Airport (JOE). There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so Joensuu is better suited to inland travel than to a beach-focused break.
