Rauma Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
town in the region of Satakunta in Finland
About Rauma
Rauma is one of the six medieval towns in Finland (withNaantali,Porvoo,Turku,UlvilaandVyborg). It has a lot of seafaring history. It also developed a reputation for high quality lace. These traditions are actively being marketed by the tourism industry, though in day-to-day life they are no longer mainstream (except for the port operations, as Rauma is still a major port in Finland). Folk culture, tourism and older people try to preserve much of Rauma tradition, but as everywhere, Finland is gradually becoming homogenized due to the influence of mass media. Younger generations in Rauma these days hardly differ from those in most other Finnish cities. The post-World War II years were mainly driven by pulp and paper milling, which cast its ugly (and sometimes smelly) shadow on the town. Howe
