ABOUT LAHTI

Lahti is the capital of the region of Päijänne Tavastia. It is situated on a bay at the southern end of Lake Vesijärvi about 100 kilometres (60 mi) north-east of the capital Helsinki. In English, the Finnish word Lahti literally means bay. The Lahti region is growing and is one of the main economic hubs of Finland.

With a population of just over 120,000 people, Lahti is the 8th largest city in Finland.  Lahti is a long-time pioneering city in environmental sustainability, dating back to as early as 1990. The European Commission has named Lahti as the European Green Capital of 2021.
