The city of lights

It is the largest city in central Finland and on the Finnish Lakeland

Jyväskylä is surrounded by hundreds of lakes.

Autumn 2012 brought lighting professionals from 33 cities worldwide to Jyväskylä to explore the city’s outdoor lighting strategy, which has won international awards.

The landscape in Jyväskylä is hilly, forested and full of lakes.

 Because of its northern location, winter is long, snowy, cold and dark. During midwinter the city receives daylight only five hours.

Sports The University of Jyväskylä is the only

university in Northern Europe with a faculty of sports. The faculty has been a key player for developping strong sports culture in the city.

The city hosts the Neste Oil Rally Finland (formerly known as 1000 Lakes Rally). It is the biggest annually organised public event in the Nordic countries
