  2. Casino

    The imposing green-and-white casino, between Spa Park and the beach, is a classic seaside venue and Hanko's most famous nightspot. It has plenty of class and charm; there's music, dancing and a roulette table, and the cover charge depends on what's on. The restaurant here is good, with pepper steaks, salmon and the like.

  6. Neljän Tuulen Tupa

    This place on Little Pine Island, 1.5km east of the town centre, is where folks went to imbibe so-called 'hard tea' (alcohol) during the Finnish prohibition (1919-32). At the time, Field Marshal CGE Mannerheim had his summer cottage on the neighbouring island. He found the merry-making disturbing and solved the problem by buying the whole joint in 1926; he fired the chef, imported tea sets from France and ran the place himself until 1931.
