The Old Varkaus Tour Is Waiting To Be Experienced

The nationally significant built cultural environment of Old Varkaus tells a story whose many stages and plot twists do not reveal themselves at first glance. The Tours in Old Varkaus is an experience tour that brings the stories to life.

The tour is about 3.5 kilometres long, so you should allow about an hour for it. There are a total of 16 sites along the route that tell the history of Varkaus. You can follow the route in the order you want with the help of information boards or a map. You can find the map at the Museokeskus Konsti and at tourist information centres in the area. For the best experience, check out the augmented reality stories on the information boards or on the paper map behind the QR code. In addition to the images and text on the map and signs, the OR codes also provide animated videos, 3D modelling and audio narration.

The tour is available in English and Finnish and can be accessed all year round.
