In the year 1977 the juridical difference between cities, towns and municipalities were removed. Today only municipalities are recognized, some of which are commonly referred to as towns (kaupunki in Finnish, stad in Swedish). A simple, independent decision in the municipal council is required to change the name of a rural "municipality" (kunta) into a "city" (kaupunki) as its mentioned in the Map of Finland with cities. For towns founded before the 1960s the list includes the year the town was chartered. Finland is a land of lakes and rivers, epic wilderness and endless forests, Finland is full of natural beauty – its delightful cities sit amidst some absolutely gorgeous settings.

Dating all the way back to the Stone Age, Vantaa is strangely devoid of historical sights – it is mainly an industrial area with a few large shopping centers scattered throughout. Thankfully, the peaceful Keravanjoki River bordering it helps give Vantaa some much-needed greenery. While it is short on attractions, lots of people pass through – it is home to the Helsinki-Vantaa National Airport. The home of Nokia, Espoo is a commuter city that lies not far from Helsinki as you can see in the Map of Finland with cities. As such, it is a great option for a day trip if you are looking to get out of the capital for a bit. With some great shopping centers, lovely flea markets and atmospheric cafes and bars, Espoo main attraction is the brilliant Museum of Modern Art. Here, you can find a massive collection of artworks from the 20th Century onwards.

Lying next to the Pielis River, Joensuu is a lively university town – its youthful population makes it a fun and friendly place to stop by.
