Lake Päijänne Cruises
Päijänne-risteilyt
Cruises from Jyväskylä harbour across Lake Päijänne, Finland's second-largest lake, including steamboat-style boats heading to Lahti.
Lake Päijänne is Finland's second-largest lake. Its northern end is connected to Jyväskylä by a canal, and it is the source of drinking water for the capital region, with very clear water. In summer, several cruise boats leave from the harbour beside the city centre. Options include two- to three-hour lake sightseeing tours, an Aalto-themed route via Säynätsalo to Muuratsalo, and full-day trips to Lahti. Around the harbour there are restaurants, saunas and lakeside paths, and it is lively in the evening. Timetables and fares should be checked on the cruise company's website.
