Maritime Centre Vellamo
Relocated here from Hylkysaari off Helsinki, this maritime museum is a spectacular new museum that fittingly recounts the maritime life of Finland. The tanker-sized building has a wavelike design with a mosaic facade of photographs that’s coolly attractive. The star exhibit is the Tarmo, the world’s oldest ice-breaker (1908) that determinedly ploughed Finnish waters until it was retired in 1970. There’s a roster of changing exhibitions that showcase other sea-based memorabilia.

Kotka Church
Kotka Church is a neo-Gothic structure visible throughout town by its distinctive steeple. Inside there’s artful woodcarving, a baroque-style organ that can belt out a holy volume and a beautiful altarpiece painted by Pekka Halonen.
