WELCOME TO OUR CITY!
Lahti has always been the city for innovative
and creative people. The traditional
industrial City of Lahti has reinvented
itself of being the leader of environmental
businesses and the design city in our
country. Growing tourism and the demand
for well-being services as well new
perspectives on entrepreneurship have
given us the willingness to serve our guests
in a modern way.
Sport has always been a great part of the
city’s identity, throughout the year. Due
to our exceptional traditions as a host
of sporting events, Lahti is used to the
international spotlight: Just to mention
the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships
in 2017 were held in Lahti for the seventh
time – a world record for hosting the
event! Lahti is also known internationally
as a culture hot spot. The city’s symphony
orchestra has gained worldwide acclaim
under some of the best conductors in the
world. The Sibelius Hall in Lahti has been
permanently ranked amond the top 10
music halls in the world.
Pure Finnish nature is part of Lahti’s soul!
Where in the world can you swim in a lake
that is less than one kilometre from a city
hall and market square and the water is
basically pure enough to drink?
And when hiking on Lahti’s high ridges or
skiing safely during the winter on a frozen
lake, you’ll see that the combination of
this city and its nature is something very
special. Our City of Lahti is simply easy
to live, feel and experience. We warmly
welcome you to Lahti!
