Where to stay in Kahilanniemi
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Kahilanniemi is a quiet base north-east of the centre. The district holds the Lappeenrannan vapaaseurakunta and the De Bange 90 mm gun within reach, but beds are thin out here, so most travellers stay nearer the core of Lappeenranta and reach this quarter through the Lauritsala side of the city.
