Kemi Sights

  1. Jalokibigalleria

    The Jalokibigalleria, in an old seaside customs house, has an internationally notable collection of over 3000 beautiful, rare stones and jewellery, including a crown made using a design that was meant for the short-lived king of Finland. The crown was made in the 1980s by the gallery's founder, who created the 'first and only' crown of the king of Finland from original drawings. Sheets translated into various languages guide you in an offbeat manner around the exhibits, which include replicas of the world's most famous diamonds, and a solid dose of Finnish humour.

  2. Snow Castle

    Kemi's Snow Castle, by the water near the tourist office, is another big winter drawcard. In 1996 the 'World's Largest Snow Castle' - 13,500 sq metres - was built here. It was such a success that the castle is now constructed every year and features a beautiful chapel and an ice restaurant.
