Kenkävero
Kenkävero is a design shop and an art centre picturesquely set in a lovely vicarage building 1km east of the centre. The cafe still feels like an elegant drawing room and you half expect the vicar himself to bring in tea and cucumber sandwiches. Instead there’s a much praised lunch buffet that pulls out all the stops.

Rock Paintings
The Rock Paintings of Astuvansalmi (Astuvansalmen Kalliomaalaukset), estimated to be 3000 to 4000 years old, are some of the finest prehistoric rock paintings in Finland. They are on a steep rock cliff, 38km by road southeast of Mikkeli, reached by a walking track from the road. You'll need a vehicle or bicycle to get there.
