The town has interesting old buildings, and the seaside is open with parks all around. There are some good restaurants in the Rewell shopping mall. With buses it is easy to get to places slightly out of town. There are playgrounds in the middle of the city for kids and the main library has books in various languages for them to sit and read for awhile. We liked Edvin's Path, which you can get to on bus #15.
However, if you want to see the Kvarken archipelago, wait until mid-June to visit Vaasa, otherwise there will be no boat tours.

Good: Good shopping opportunities, especially at Kivihaka.
Good: Good shopping opportunities, especially at Kivihaka. I estimate the Swedish-speaking percentage of the residents at 75%, probably the highest in Finland by some margin. 24/7 kiosk at Shell Pitkäkatu. Generally nice-looking city. Tropiclandia was nice for a summer day.
Less impressive: Getting to/from the ferry pier is chaotic (especially when the ferrytaxi driver didn't speak Swedish nor English). It was not easy to find any of the city's restaurants.
Personal tip: I'd favour trying to figure out how to get from downtown to Kivihaka by bus next time, due to the overly snaking pavement paths between the two.

The people are nice and helpful and the town centre is small enough to walk through it and see everything on foot. The beach is lovely, especially in winter and it guarantees for a great walk and great scenery.
The bus service was a bit difficult to grasp as bus stops are not well marked and buses are not frequent especially outside the centre of Vaasa.

A very quiet place with many shops and bars.
A very quiet place with many shops and bars. However nothing is really thought for tourists. We wanted to visit the Kvarken Penisula 25 km North. There are buses going there a couple of weeks in July but August was already considered Fall period. The last day we were there, we were planning to take the bus used by scholars, following Tourist Office advice but the information turned wrong. We tried to rent a car but there was nothing available. We went to Tempere that we really liked for its friendly people and its lakes.

The seaside walking paths are great for dog owners.
The seaside walking paths are great for dog owners.
We enjoyed the flat breads of Niska Vasa.
The Aroma Bageri & Konditori is a highly recommended plae if you like well baked bread and sweet buns!
The UNESCO World Heritage site Kvarken Archipelago is close by and worth visiting for ones who like to see nature on their trips.

Having never visited Finland, Vaasa was a wonderful, small city. We went to visit family and, while there walked along the bay, enjoyed the midnight sunset, and ate delicious regional foods. The pastries were WONDERFUL! We also ate at The Bank, Vaasa's highest recommended restaurant and were not disappointed! The food was truly EXCELLENT and the historical building was so beautiful! I would definitely recommend a visit there. The best part about the city is the easy walking to all things essential. We walked for groceries, dinner, shopping, nature, and the ocean. Perfect introduction to this beautiful country.
Very solid service as expected from Sokos hotel brand, helpful personnel. We came in Christmas time, when lots of places are closed, so were hotel restaurants on the Christmas eve, which was kind of expected. Sokos staff helped us to find and book Christmas dinner in another hotel, which was highly appreciated from our side as otherwise we would have to eat salads purchased from the only open grocery store nearby.
View to the market square was fantastic as it was snowing almost all the time, beautiful.
The chicken bocatini was the best pasta I've had in years. 95% of employees spoke Swedish, and had no problems with my Norway-affected Swedish. Access to a microwave in the lobby (albeit an old one). Decently silent rooms (Enough so to give me my first-ever full night's hotel sleep, twice). 17 TV channels. Free Wi-Fi. Breakfast buffet has Nugatti. 5min away from downtown on manual kickscooter, 10min to train station, and 25min to the Kivihaka shopping district.
One of the best places we stayed in Finland. Wonderful decorations with model ships and nautical bric-a-brac. The sauna was great. Very spacious and well appointed. Information from host was complete, concise and timely. Breakfast was modest, though good and fresh. We wished we could have stayed longer.
Astor is charming with loads of character, centrally located, providing a superb breakfast, wonderful music and atmosphere. The staff are pleasant and accommodating. The room was spacious, as was the toilet and shower room, nicely furnished and decorated. In all of these respects, Astor excelled.
The staff was really friendly - even though the hotel closed early, they arranged us the dinner and an upgraded room with sauna. The hotel is a bit old-fashioned but comfortable and clean, and most importantly, quiet and dark at night. The breakfast was adequate. Overall a really nice experience.
The staff was very nice, we checked in later than originally was possible and they accommodated us. First by sending us a text with the code to enter, when this failed the lady stayed longer to make sure we could get in.
The staff in general was very nice and the hotel was very clean
I arrived to the hotel from the ferry from Sweden at 1am, but as I had detailed instructions, self-check-in went smoothly. The hotel is very close the railway station, 5 min, literally. The room was small, but absolutely clean, with a kettle and tea/coffee bags.
Location was good, very close to city center. Staff was very nice, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good, quite normal for finnish hotels. The restaurant in the hotel was very good albeit a little pricey, but I can definitely recommend it for a dinner.
This hotel was fine, it has all it needs, staff is friendly and helpful and rooms are OK - clean and sterile. But nothing special. No sauna or amenities of that kind. I personally would try to stay in a nicer one in the city center next time.
loved this place, very modern and warm and it felt like home the minute we got into it. Kati was always available and answered our messages instantly. will definitely be back if in Vaasa
