Review:

The city of Kotka in southern Finland is located on the coast of the Baltic Sea, about 30 miles from the Russian border. In Kotka, visitors can check out the Maritime Museum of Finland as well as the Maretarium, an aquarium that showcases species of fish found in Finland. Kotka is truly a fishing enthusiast's paradise as the Kymijoki River, which runs through the city, has some of the best salmon fishing opportunities in the country, and Langinkoski, a rapid on the river, has an old building that was once an imperial Russian fishing lodge. Those who aren't looking to go fishing but would still like to enjoy the scenery can go kayaking or whitewater rafting on the rushing waters of the Langinkoski Rapids.
