Ingå, municipality in the region of Uusimaa in Finland
Ingå is a small municipality on Finland's southern coast with narrow streets, old wooden houses, and a quiet character. It stretches from the waterfront with boat harbors, small islands nearby, and simple shops reflecting everyday local life.
Ingå was founded in the 1300s and developed as a fishing and trading village over centuries. After World War II, a portion of the area was leased to the Soviet Union for about ten years, leaving traces visible in buildings and a local museum today.
Life here centers on the sea and outdoor traditions that visitors can see practiced daily. Fishing, boating, and local markets where farmers sell fresh produce show how people stay connected to these customs in their everyday routines.
Summer is the best time to visit when days are long and weather invites you to spend time by the water. You can reach it easily by car or bus, and explore the area best on foot or by bicycle.
In Fagervik, part of this area, old ironworks once drew workers and filled the air with the smell of iron and coal. This industrial past is told through local museums and events, shaping how people understand their community's identity.
