Rauma on Finland's west coast is well on the tourist track, but that still doesn't mean crowds in August. Like the other WHS we visited on this trip, the signposting was perfect, the parking was free and the terrace food & drink were plenty.
The major wooden buildings in Old Rauma are clustered around two main streets and the marketplace. Most are turned into shops or museums. Lace-making is a very big item here, not something I do get excited about. Roaming around the backstreets is pleasant though.
Four highlights certainly worth visiting:
the exterior of the former City Hall, now Rauma Museum
