Central Finland - breathtaking nature meets city life
Central Finland is a successful, dynamic and delightful region where the emphasis is on the quality of life — a safe and people-friendly area clothed in enchanting and unadulterated scenery.
We take pride in the safe and pleasant environment in which we live, the quality of our services, our buoyant labour market, and the wide variety of opportunities for studying. Central Finland is rich in culture, and offers a host of leisure activities. The surrounding lakes and hills are easily accessible for touring, and the region is, winter or summer, a sporting paradise.
Central Finland and the City of Jyväskylä are situated in the heart of the beautiful Finnish lake district. Central Finland has a population of 270,000, most of whom live in the Jyväskylä Region.
Research reveals that Jyväskylä ranks first among Finnish cities as an environment for raising children, and as a place to live. Its natural surroundings offer a wide range of options for recreational activity supplementing meetings and congresses. Jyväskylä is the venue for a number of cultural events with long traditions. The city is also known for its many institutes and enterprises, its modern architecture and, especially, its university. Jyväskylä is a lively, human-scale city in a beautiful, people-oriented region — a superb place to live or visit!
