About Peltola
Where to stay in Peltola
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
The Lappeenrannan museot set the case for Peltola. Half a kilometre of walking reaches the middle of the city, Alakylä and Taikinamäki sit alongside the district, Kylpylä and Tykki are hardly further, and the JR 4:n muistokivi stands within the same short circuit. You suit Peltola if museums and memorials are the reason for the visit and a walk into central Lappeenranta suits the rest.
About Peltola
What are the main landmarks in Peltola?
Three named markers stand in Peltola. The Lappeenrannan museot carry the museum work of the city, the Lallukan hautamuistomerkki marks a grave, and the JR 4:n muistokivi stands as a memorial stone, all within a district that runs barely half a kilometre from the centre. Alakylä and Tykki begin within a kilometre of the same ground.
What is the history of Peltola?
Memorial stones give Peltola what history it keeps on the surface. The Lallukan hautamuistomerkki and the JR 4:n muistokivi both stand here, markers of a city that sets its memory in stone, while the Lappeenrannan museot hold the wider record of Lappeenranta indoors. The rest belongs to Lappeenranta itself.
Where is Peltola?
