Lohja
A Finnish lake town in the Uusimaa region, Lohja takes its civic identity from Lake Lohja and the Lohja ridge that divides its landscape, and calls itself "Lake City" in both its Finnish and Swedish official languages. The medieval Church of St. Lawrence is the architectural centrepiece of a walkable centre with cafés and restaurants, while the town's long traditions in horticulture and apple-growing — alongside limestone — serve as its civic symbols. Lohja is less than an hour from Helsinki by motorway.
