Central Finland has it all. Enchanting lake scenery, the beat of the city, top-class conference and congress services, a wide choice of entertainment and adventure. All this and much more in Central Finland!

Forest has been and is today a vital source of livelihood in Central Finland. The region's cultural and business centre, Jyväskylä, is home to Finland's most popular university, research centres in natural sciences and culture which have won international recognition, and strong basic industry, whose flagship is the manufacture of paper machines.

Jyväskylä is one of Finland's most popular cities for conferences and congresses - thanks to strong language proficiency and some of the best services in the branch. Meeting venues range from cosy function rooms right through to Jyväskylä Paviljonki, an international congress and trade fair centre.

In Central Finland, all within a few hours drive, you'll discover several downhill skiing centres, spas and golf courses, three national parks complete with primal forest, riding stables, high class holiday cottages and farm holiday locations as well as Europe's largest area of inland watercourses for fishing, hiking and paddling.
