We are thinking of taking the train , next Summer , from Helsinki to Savonlinna for the opera festival. Has anyone done this journey ? Is it scenic? Did you stay in Savonlinna ? If so, can you recommend a hotel in easy walking distance of the castle ? Thanks! (www.tripadvisor.com....nland.html)

I do not believe that you can hire a car from Punkaharju in the middle of winter Savonlinna would be a better bet. Taxis operate normally, but like I pointed out, 26 December could be a busy day. (www.tripadvisor.com....nland.html)
I am biased because I am Finnish. But I think I have eye for the beauty of the Punkaharju area. It is worth of a car holiday , you can drive through the most beautiful lake district of Finland . Savonlinna is close, so you can choose a hotel in Punkaharju and visit the Opera Festival and concerts if you are ready. more (www.tripadvisor.com....nland.html)

60;It57;s a gorgeous location, a castle from 1475 on an island in a lake that you have to take a boat to get to,61; he says, 60;and they use the castle as the backdrop to the operas.61; Savonlinna has gained a reputation as a secret gem festival; one of the soloists performing next summer will be none other than Roberto Alagna.

You're probably planning the rest of your summer round about now, so don't leave out the Seventh Annual Mobile Throwing World Championships, to be held in the UK and Savonlinna , Finland , too.

So, like I said yesterday , I went to Savonlinna again today. I wanted to buy new notebooks, pens and other things for school, and some new clothes, too. Well, the school stuff was a piece of cake: I just walked to a book store, bought everything I needed there (plus one new book) and that was it. It made me happy, 'cause I love buying new notebooks I actually have an obsession for pretty notebooks. See, everytime I see a new beautiful notebook I usually just have to buy it even though I wouldn't need it. :D I like them, okay? And well, I suppose if I really want to go to an university to study Finnish, I'm going to need loads of notebooks. *chuckle* (learning-things....?mode=full)
As you probably know, the great country of Finland is home to Nokia, the Savonlinna Opera Festival and Renny Harlin . It's also home to Santa Claus (played in the film by Paul Giamatti Vince Vaughn is his black-sheep brother ) and Santa's Village, where the winner of our trip will get to tour during a six-day, five-night stay. While in all likelihood Paul Giamatti will not be there to greet you, Santa will be, and perhaps you'll even be able to whisper a wish into his ear. So give us the funniest, most clever, jolliest caption you've got. The winner will be announced at the launch of our next contest, (www.cinematical.com....on-this-1/)

They started making plastic boots, and that didn't work out too well, and then decided to give mobile phones a shot. That worked out so well that they now have the Mobile Phone Throwing World Championship , held each year in Savonlinna , Finland . more » (gizmodo.com/tag/ecomodo/)

This year at Savonlinna , he appeared in a new opera, Isän tyttö (Daddy&s Girl) by Olli Kortekangas, jointly commissioned by the festival and the Finnish Parliament to mark the 90th anniversary of Finnish independence and the 40th of the festival. The action is based around the summer of 1997 and in flashback at various points from 1956 onwards, and projecting forward to the summer of 2007. (www.bbc.co.uk....2007.shtml)
At the end of the evening, as the sun was rising (at around 2am the joys of Finland close to midsummer ), Tommi happily got onto his beloved motorbike and rode off to the summer cottage near Savonlinna where he&s staying during the festival. "Please send my best wishes to everyone who remembers me", he said, before donning his helmet and roaring off into the Finnish dawn. (www.bbc.co.uk....2007.shtml)
Once there was a little paper company in Finland called Nokia. They started making plastic boots, and that didn't work out too well, and then decided to give mobile phones a shot. Soon, everyone in the country had one, and soon, everyone was having that love-hate relationship with this technology. In 2000, the Finns started getting even with the first Mobile Phone Throwing World Championship , held in Savonlinna , Finland . There are traditional "over the shoulder" distance throws, and more recently Freestyle was added, where aesthetics, style and creative choreographics and Naomi Campbell imitations are judged. All phones are properly recycled; first prize is, unfortunately, a new cellphone. (gizmodo.com..../index.xml)
