Hanko, Coastal municipality in Uusimaa, Finland
The town extends along the southernmost tip of Finland, featuring numerous beaches, seaside villas, and a commercial harbor on the Baltic Sea coast.
Founded in 1874, Hanko became a critical naval base during World War II when Finland leased it to the Soviet Union from 1940 to 1941.
The bilingual municipality maintains a population of Finnish and Swedish speakers, with traditional wooden architecture reflecting Nordic maritime heritage.
Visitors can reach Hanko by train from Helsinki in two hours, with regular connections to the city center and harbor district.
The town holds the distinction of being Finland's primary departure point for emigrants to North America during the late 19th century.
