Lieto

Lieto is a municipality in southwest Finland with around 6,900 residents spread across forest, farmland, and several small lakes. The central area holds most services and shops, with residential neighborhoods extending outward through a typical Finnish landscape of woods and clearings.

Lieto developed as an agricultural area near the Turku region and gradually transformed into a residential municipality during the 20th century. Proximity to larger urban centers influenced its growth and tied it to the broader development of southwest Finland.

As a smaller municipality, this place offers rural character while remaining well connected to nearby cities like Turku for broader services. Visitors should plan to use a car or public transport, since distances between different neighborhoods are greater than in city areas.
