Car rental in Kerimäki

Understanding Local Traffic Rules

Remember to drive on the right-hand side of the road - a change from driving in the UK. In built up areas, the speed limit is typically 50km/h while it may reach up to 120km/h on motorways. Winter tyres are a legal requirement between December and February, so do check with your car rental service to ensure these are fitted if you're visiting over winter.

The key highlight of Kerimäki is its wooden church, the largest in the world. Other significant sites include the Kerimäki Outdoor Museum, which gives a glimpse into the Finnish rural life of centuries past, and the Lusto Finnish Forest Museum located nearby. Don't forget to fit in some fishing in the area's numerous pristine lakes-it's a local pastime.
