Pertunmaa
Spend a half‑day to a full day in Pertunmaa for the market, church and lakeside beach; stay overnight only if you want cottage peace.
Pertunmaa is a tiny former municipality in South Savonia, now part of Mäntyharju. Its attractions – a historic church, a local market, a museum and lakeside beaches – are clustered within walking distance of the centre. Buses from Mikkeli stop at Kuortti (10 km away) and a few local taxis operate, so a day visit is sufficient unless you book a lakeside cottage for relaxation.

Rules in force · 7Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
- Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
- Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
- Nordic countries ↗Decide light or dark before anything else: summer trips (June–August) and aurora trips (September–March in the Arctic) need different countries, clothes and bases.
- Nordic countries ↗Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and the Faroes sell stronger alcohol only in state shops with short hours; buy before evening and before Sundays and holidays.
- Finland ↗Finland is in the EU and the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources; the EU's Entry/Exit System registers non-EU visitors at the first Schengen border.
- Finland ↗The land border with Russia is closed to travellers; do not plan a route across it.
- Finland ↗Everyman's rights let you walk, camp for a night and pick berries on most land, but not near homes, and not to make fires without permission.
Entry rules depend on your passport. Full visa guide
