A rainy day in Raseborg

On your way to Raseborg but the weather forecast looks gloomy? No need to worry, even with varying weather there is still plenty to do in Raseborg. Visit a museum, try out a new restaurant, find bargains at flea markets and vintage stores or take part in some exciting workshop. We have gathered some of the best ideas of what to do on a rainy day in Raseborg.

Art and culture

Is there a better way to spend a day indoors than at a museum? Visit a museum or one of the several art galleries in Raseborg. In Ekenäs, you get to visit both the famous Chappe art museum and the new Helene Schjerfbeck exhibition at Raseborgs Museum, with the same entrance ticket. The museums also regularly organize free guided tours. While you’re at it, you can also check out the neighboring Galleri Elverket, which has free admission. In turn, Fiskars offers the KWUM ceramics museum, the Fiskars Museum about the village’s history, and several smaller exhibitions scattered around the village.

In both Ekenäs and Karis, you have the opportunity to combine beautiful art with a library visit. In Galleri Perspektivet at the Ekenäs library, both school groups and professional artists exhibit their works. During the summer, you can also purchase decommissioned books from the Ekenäs library for a small fee. At the libraries you will definitely find entertaining reading for your visit in Raseborg. In Karis, you will find the culture center Fokus, which has a library, a gallery and a small café. The building also houses the Tryckeriteatern, where you can enjoy theater, concerts and stand-up comedy. In Raseborg, there are libraries in Ekenäs, Karis, Tenala, Pojo, Bromarv and Svartå. See more about the opening hours here.

Activities

For a more active day, you can visit the KEIV climbing gym or the Bowling hall in Ekenäs. For sports enthusiasts, there are indoor courts to rent for both tennis and padel at Karis Padel and Ekenäs Tennis Club. Despite the rain you can still play disc golf thanks to Jyms frisbee golf- and ice hockey simulator. For some mental gymnastics you can visit Escape Room Raseborg. End the day by relaxing in a comfy chair in front of an exciting movie at Bio Forum or Bio Pallas.

Don’t let rainy days be bad news; instead, let them create opportunities to collect unforgettable experiences! Book a chocolate class at Billnäs Chocolate Factory. During the class you get to create your own sweet treats and taste several kinds of chocolate. Sounds like a dream, right? In Fiskars, you can try glassblowing, wood carving, candle making and painting classes, among other things. More information about workshops in Fiskars is available on the Fiskars Village website.

For a truly relaxing experience, Raseborg offers a variety of services. Book a soothing massage, a facial treatment, or refresh your hairstyle at one of our many hair salons.
