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.

Järvenpää
I would say that Järvenpää is a very safe city but I find my self being a little more cautious when walking alone during the night. There are some drunkenly people always around and sometimes they will try to talk to you or something but they are not dangerous in any shape or form.

Very safe. You can walk around freely at night anywhere in Finland. Espoo is peaceful and has less night life and action. In Helsinki there is just one park where you shouldn’t go in the night and that’s all.
