HOTEL
Tornio's only hotel could do with an injection of cash, optimism or both, but has decent fa-
cilities. Rooms are spacious with natural light but the furniture would benefit from a refit.
In July and on weekends a room is €98.
E-City
GUESTHOUSE
€60/75; )
This friendly, clean but no-frills guesthouse is a 15-minute walk from central Tornio near
the river. Some things could do with a tweak, but the comfortable, colourful rooms are
fine. Shared bathrooms have decent showers, and breakfast includes traditional Finnish
porridge.
Eating
There is little eating choice. In Haparanda, the Stadshotell has a quality restaurant.
