North Karelia, Couple travel
Unfortunately I can not recommend any attractions, we only had time to stop at Petrozavodsk and visit a couple of cafes there (those were not very impressive). That was our second backpacking trip and we mostly enjoyed the beauty of the karelian nature. We climbed the mountain Vottovaara, and even spent one night on the top of it. Our trip lasted like 5 days, and we had our tent with us so we spent nothing on hotel, and the only food we had was either sublimates or snacks. I recommend it to everybody who wants to explore northern nature but don't want to go to Teriberka or sth like that....

My overall experience made me want to come back again as I didn’t spend enough time in Helsinki. It is a very expensive city which is something that you should keep in mind. but overall the atmosphere was very nice, I did feel safe during the day although not so much during the night.

Joensuu is a safe town in North Karelia. Use your common sense as always, but you will be alright. City centre and train/bus station are safe. I've spotted a bike or two with missing wheels but that's it.

Sörnäinen has a lot of unhoused people and drug usage. Especially alpha-pvp, which makes its users act spontaneous and aggressive. During the day you’ll be fine to pass through there but wouldn’t recommend hanging out there, especially at night.

Safe, never been in a dangerous situation but sometimes at night there's some creeps in the city centre. I would recommend walking with someone during night if possible. During day it's very safe and people are nice!
