We were staying with our daughter and partner in Hamina, who have been there since the beginning of the year, living in an apartment within the old town, in sight of the cathedral - really in the centre of the community. Wooden buildings predominate, mostly no more than two or three stories and a distinctive style. My other half thought it was reminiscent of a Chekhov play, I thought it was rather like finding oneself in the middle of a Tolstoy novel - I am sure there are famous Finnish authors who would be more appropriately quoted here. The buildings have been allowed to speak for themselves and display their beauty because, whilst shops, offices and restaurants are housed within some of them, signage is kept low key and you almost have to be at the window or door before the nature of the business becomes apparent. This only lends to the character of the streets. The town hall is literally at the centre of the town, with all other streets radiating out like the spokes of a wheel - all roads lead to the centre. This is a military town and there are parade grounds and buildings to see and the Bastion fortification - well worth a walk around.

The town of Hamina was planned in a circular design, with the Town Hall having pride of place at the centre - a wide road circling around it and all streets then leading off it. Driving up one of the 'spokes' of this design, one cannot miss the town hall. More formal in design than many of the low wooden buildings which surround it, the town hall stands out, particularly when lit up at night and is a fitting centrepiece for what is really a small town. There is a cafe in one side (we didn't visit) which our daughter, who is living in Hamina, tells us is great for sitting outside and watching the world go by. Other than that, it really is the symbol of the layout of the town. A good photo opportunity and accessible from anywhere in Hamina.
