A city break with your friends

The journey is part of the fun

Getting to Vaasa is easy, no matter where your adventure begins! The airport is just 10 minutes from the city centre, and the railway station is right in the heart of town. Arriving from Sweden? The daily ferry connection between Umeå and Vaasa makes it easy to explore two cities – and even two countries – in a single day. After all, the journey is part of the adventure!

Shopping + coffe = the perfect combo

Ready for a little retail therapy? From quirky boutiques and flea markets to shopping centres, Vaasa has plenty to explore! Head to the city centre, where the market square, pedestrian street and shopping centres are all within easy walking distance.

And when it’s time to give your shopping bags a rest, settle into one of the city’s cosy cafés, wine bars or restaurants. Don’t miss EIJN Bar for fresh salads and tasty tapas – the perfect pit stop during your shopping spree!

Food for every taste

Don’t let hungry stomachs spoil the fun! In Vaasa city centre, you’ll find everything from trendy street food and cosy pizzerias to fine dining at places like Restaurant FRÖJ, where local ingredients take centre stage.

Along the waterfront, the popular Strampen serves up sea views and a menu that combines timeless classics with modern flavours. Nearby, HEJM brings together Nordic cuisine and stylish design.

At Bock’s Corner Brewery, you can enjoy a refreshing beer, unwind in the sauna or spend a whole evening catching up with friends.

Challange your crew

Who’s the real champion of your group? Challenge your friends to a game of pool, bowling, darts or board games – or turn up the energy with water park adventures and climbing!

At The Club, you can organise a proper pool tournament with coaching, while Wasa Up offers climbing and obstacle courses for anyone who loves a little action and a good challenge.

Evening = party mode

When the sun goes down, Vaasa turns up the energy! Dance the night away at a nightclub, head out on a pub crawl or enjoy live music and stand-up comedy at the Ritz cultural venue.

If DJs and dance floors are your thing, Fontana is a great place to start. For a more laid-back evening, Irish Pub O’Malley’s is perfect for drinks and good times with friends.

And for the night owls? The party continues at Teatro until 5 am, while karaoke bar Pataässä keeps the fun going until 6 am.

Whether you’re in the mood for dancing, music or simply a great night out with your crew, Vaasa’s nightlife has something for everyone.

Day cruise to Umeå – drinks, beats and a taste of Sweden

Why settle for one city when you can explore two? Hop aboard Wasaline’s Aurora Botnia and let the fun begin! Enjoy delicious food, drinks at sea prices, a little onboard shopping and relaxed lounge vibes as you cruise across the Kvarken.

On selected departures, live music, DJs and bands turn up the atmosphere – and you might even find yourself on the dance floor! Add spectacular archipelago views and a taste of Sweden, and you’ve got a mini-adventure to remember.

Sleep in the heart of the city

Stay at a hotel right in the city centre, with both the nightlife and the next morning’s breakfast buffet just a short stroll away! When the party is over, sink into a comfy bed, get a good night’s sleep and recharge for another day of adventures.
