Small city that looks to me like an postsoviet American suburbs mixed with fisherman lodges and german bricks. For me, the architecture itself was not appealing at all, the only things I really appreciated were the Kuopio Museum (very cute), lake views and fantastic University. If you are a fan of extremely slow and chill places where you feel like time has stopped, I would definietly reccomend, for me it was just lacking a certain character.

whatever you want, go to kuopio in winter. the whole place is like Europe used to be "once upon a time" (well even more like what Geelong (Australia) used to be like in about the 1950s. None of the special "modern tensions" (so oft depicted in current scandi-tv series) is there in Kuolpio. and of course in winter in finland there are not a miooion tourists (which might be the case in summer for all I know).
you just gotta go to Kuopio

We just have stopped there for the overnight when traveling to the north of Finland, but we were lucky to come on the eve of Finlad Ice Marathon, so we took and advantage to skate on the lake at night with fire lights. Strongly recommended event.

The best location is Centrum of the city of Kuopio, next to the center. Nice and lively head next to the market. The inhabitants of the Kuopio city of Kuopio are happy, talkative, helpful and honest. This city still has good Christianity and a Protestant Bishop in power. Here it is also nice to move along the different streets to the lake shore. Even to swim or play tennis.
Near the centrum hotels there are restaurants, shops, an interesting fresh market and nice cafes. The center of Kuopio is a safe environment for vacationing, shopping, eating, drinking coffee and being and enjoying yourself. In addition, Kuopio has the best Police in Finland. The police arrive at the Centrum market place in emergency situations in about 5 minutes.
I have also lived in Kuopio for 20 years.

Bike and pedestrian friendly city, really wide cycling and walking paths, usually separated from busy roads. Also a cheap electric bike rental system - 10€/week. The marketplace is a must-visit, small but so nice and varied, and there's this really nice lady there selling baked goods and she speaks perfect English! The tower is also nice, and it's fun to go to the ski jump and see actual jumpers in action - also during the summer! Visit the harbour and walk around, and use the cheap bikes to go around the city to the islands and forests, there are so many nice connections. The city also has so many nice parks and green areas. What I don't like: there are many mosquitoes, so find a place that has mosquito nets on the windows and spray yourself if you go outside the city. It's also quite expensive, but that's Finland in general I guess, not just Kuopio. In general, really a place worth visiting!

Regional centre with some character - particularly in summer. Harbour area always attractive. Traditional restaurant Sampo never disppoints - the menu hasn't changed for at least thirty years (try the deep-fried 'muikku' - that's vendace to the rest of us).
A good location for walking around Kuopio. We really didn't need a car until we went to the Sauna further south, though we could have explored more by car, and we did walk a lot! The room is comfortable, but not very big. The breakfast was fantastic. The gym was serviceable. There is a bar in the lobby, since the restaurant closes at 10pm, but it's not as nice as sitting in the restaurant area. We enjoyed our stay but felt it was a bit overpriced compared to other places we stayed.
We stayed in the hotel for one night, while traveling from Lapland to Helsinki. The hotel is located close to the highway and is easy to find. Despite arriving after the reception was closed we got comprehensive instruction on how to still get into our room. The room had a decent size, was clean and the bed was comfortable.
The included breakfast, although lacking some variety, was really tasty.
Very good overall, with very helpful staff. The location is a short bus ride from the train station and bus station. Without luggage, it's a walkable distance to the city centre and some major attractions, especially the Orthodox Church Museum of Finland, and also other attractions.
Or you can walk (or cycle) in the opposite direction along numerous pleasant, forested roads and pathways.
For my stay it was important that hotel does not use strong scent soaps and the ventilation is quiet, as I am very sensitive to smells and noise at night (this hotel has almost 0 noise ventilation when you take the card from the power slot near the room exit door). So it was perfect for me, as previously booked 4 star hotel did not meet my expectations in that sense.
Everything!
Welcoming environment - spacious, clean, and cozy, comprehensively furnished apartment in an excellent location with perfect view of a lovely lake in all seasons.
Wonderful host - always responds to questions promptly and in a very friendly manner.
Definitely one of the best places to stay in Kuopio!
Excellent apartment located in the centre of Kuopio in very quiet street with short walking distance to market place, shops and restaurants. The apartment was very clean, very well equipped, excellent coffee machine, comfortable bed and two TV.
I would recommend this place for couple or sole traveller with pets.
Great location in the centre of Kuopio.
Very friendly staff , that nothing was too much for.
Perfectly equipped bedrooms, ours had a view of the market square.
Fab breakfast with choice of hot or cold options. And also gluten and lactose free options.
Not a new place, but very well kept. It was clean, simple, but at the same time something what you can expect once you come back to the hotel after a busy day. Continental breakfast - simple yet fulfilling.
Very clean and comfortable apartment, excellently located in the centre of Kuopio. The hosts were wonderful, very easy to reach and very accommodating. Would warmly recommend staying at this property!
The best breakfast I've had in any hotel around the world! It was a Fathers' Day special, but still, just wow what delicacies there were starting from raindeer meat up to cloudberry champagne.
Location next to trainstation is great.
And like always in Lapland Hotels where I have been the breakfast is top notch compared to many other brand hotels, I love it.
Hotel accommodation in the most central location. The breakfast is plentiful and the service is very friendly. Big room. The facilities are good and everything works.
