About II kaupunginosa
Where to stay in II kaupunginosa
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Rooms sit close to both museums. A base in II kaupunginosa leaves Pohjanmaan museo and Kuntsin modernin taiteen museo within a walk, with I kaupunginosa and III kaupunginosa near enough that the whole centre of Vaasa opens on foot. If you would rather be off the museum route, VI kaupunginosa lies a little further out and still reaches the museums on foot.
About II kaupunginosa
What are the main landmarks in II kaupunginosa?
Pohjanmaan museo and Kuntsin modernin taiteen museo stand within a few blocks of each other, so an afternoon in II kaupunginosa can take in both without a bus or a car. Both sit inside the district. Beyond them it registers no separate church or monument, and the rest of central Vaasa picks that up in I kaupunginosa and III kaupunginosa.
What is the history of II kaupunginosa?
What the written record holds for this district is two museums and a number, not a founding date or a parish, and Keskusta 2 is simply the same address in another language. Vaasa supplies the dates. Pohjanmaan museo and Kuntsin modernin taiteen museo are what the district contributes to the city's account of itself, and neither depends on II kaupunginosa having a history apart from Vaasa.
Where is II kaupunginosa?
III kaupunginosa lies closest of all, with I kaupunginosa and VI kaupunginosa a few streets on, and II kaupunginosa holding the museum end of central Vaasa.
