Lahti, Regional capital in Päijänne Tavastia, Finland
Located 100 kilometers northeast of Helsinki, Lahti extends along the shores of Lake Vesijärvi within the Finnish Lakeland region at an elevation of 122 meters.
The construction of the Riihimäki-St. Petersburg railway line in 1870 transformed Lahti from a small village into a transportation center before receiving city status in 1905.
The Lahti Symphony Orchestra performs regular concerts while the Ski Museum and Art Museum display collections reflecting the regional heritage through exhibitions.
The central transportation hub connects multiple bus routes and train services, offering direct access to Helsinki Airport within 50 minutes by rail or car.
Lahti earned recognition as European Green Capital 2021 for environmental initiatives, setting an objective to achieve carbon neutrality by 2025.
