Getting around in Lappeenranta

Car Hire Class Recommendation

Compact cars are the most popular among tourists due to their fuel efficiency and easy maneuverability in the city streets. For those planning long distance trips, an SUV or a minivan might be a better option.

Finland's traffic rules are straightforward and well enforced. The speed limit in urban areas is typically 50 km/h, but this may vary on country roads and highways.
