Jyväskylä
The Aalto city — modernist architecture in the central lakeland.
— Journey —
Jet 45 min
Jyväskylä, in the central lakeland, is the city of Alvar Aalto — home to more buildings by the master than anywhere else, from the university campus to the city theatre, and to the Alvar Aalto Museum that interprets his work. Reached by FFGR Jets in forty-five minutes, the lakeside university city sits on Lake Jyväsjärvi amid the Päijänne and Keitele waters. FFGR Finland coordinates architectural tours, lake cruises along the Päijänne, and rally hospitality during the Secret Rally Finland (the WRC's fastest gravel event). It is a city of light, water and twentieth-century design, framed by the central forests.
