Things to do in Heinola

  1. Heinolan Lintutarhat

    Right by the bus station, Heinolan Lintutarhat is a bird zoo with many Finnish species, all injured creatures rescued from the wild, as well as exotic varieties. The owls are particularly impressive, but some of the parrots look ragged to say the least. You can see some of the birds outside opening hours, a nice way to wait for your bus.

  2. Heinola Ridge

    Heinola Ridge has a few attractions. The 1900 Harjupaviljonki pavilion is meant to look like a Japanese temple. In summer there is an art exhibition here. Nearby, the tower offers good views.
