See & do

You can learn about the history of Mikkeli Headquarters on several guided tours of its museums. Please book your guided tour of the museums well in advance, at least two weeks before your visit.

You can also learn more about these places on other guided tours of the city or with the aid of a mobile guide. The Headquarters' various departments were spread across the city. You can explore them independently with the Headquarters City Guide.

Marshal Mannerheim had his own regular haunts in the city, and he visited these places often. Mannerheim always walked short distances, and you can explore Mikkeli Headquarters on the walking tour In the Footsteps of Marshal Mannerheim. This guided tour can be booked with Mikkeli Guides and takes about an hour. Learn more about other guided walking tours of Mikkeli.

Also check out the Soldier Savolainen guided walking tour. You can start this tour with coffee at Naisvuori Observation Tower café and finish with a meal at the Mikkeli Officer's Club – or vice versa.
