How it works
Raseborg
Close. Yet different.
Breathe the fresh sea air on a rock in the archipelago or go on canoeing trip. Enjoy local artisan foods and drinks at cosy cafes or restaurants and buy fine ingredients at markets and farms. Raseborg is perfect for a day trip, but in order to get the full experience, we recommend that you stay the night or maybe a whole week. Rent a cottage and enjoy the summer markets, the sights of the archipelago, and glorious sunsets. If you are looking for events and activities there are plenty to choose from.
Raseborg can be reached by car, bus, train or boat. When you are on your way to us, remember there is no bus or train station called Raseborg. If you are looking for transport schedules on different web services or your GPS, please enter a specific town located in Raseborg, for example Karis, Ekenäs or Fiskars. Some services may work better with Finnish names, for example Karjaa or Tammisaari.
