what to see in winter and where to go: lapeenranta, hamina, imatra
There are plans after NG to drive through these three cities. We plan to travel on our own. Accordingly, there are several questions. Where to stay longer, where to stay less. What to see (in winter, what can you do there), where to go, what to think about in advance. Separately, the question of clothing is important - what to wear, how cold / wet it is. Where to eat and most importantly, in what sequence is it better to ride. Plans for mid-January.

It is best to go by car. All these cities are nearby.
And all of them are small by our standards, Lappeenranta has about 60 thousand inhabitants, and in Imarta and Hamina there are generally less than 30 thousand.
There is nothing special to see there. Eat: in Lappeenranta, in the IsoChristina shopping complex, on the second floor, there is a wonderful Chinese restaurant with a buffet, for 10 and a half euros you can eat from the belly, a lot of delicious meat dishes. The Family Center complex also has a good cafe with a buffet, soup, hot dishes and salads, tea-cove, all without restrictions for 8.50 euros. Well, the Golden Rax chain, but I don’t like it, there is pizza, chicken wings, fried onions in a batter, in short, the usual fatty fast food.
In Imatra, you can relax in the spa Imatran-Kulpyulya ("Magic Forest"), it's beautiful and cozy in a complex with a water park in a pine forest, but I didn't spend the night there, we come there for a day by car.

see local buses here
http://www.matkahuolto.info
choose English there, only
So far I see the schedule until December.
For example, we take an arbitrary date - say, December 6 (it's Saturday). There are 3 buses from Hamina to Imatra during the day: at 14, 17.19 hours. It takes 2.5 hours, costs 27-28 euros.
I would attach a screenshot to you, but for some reason this is not possible here.

By car, in any way, it is more profitable and more convenient.
You just need to have a parking clock, because the fines there are not bad - from 40 euros. For example, if a radar detector is found at the border (EVEN IN THE GLOVE UNIT, NOT CONNECTED!), The fine for it will be under a hundred euros.
Therefore, before driving your car to Finland for the first time, read the rules for this country very carefully. One more example. If you drive around the city with fog lights on in the absence of fog - a fine of 40 euros. All of us, like fools, drive with these foglights on (probably to show that he has these foglights)))

Thanks everyone for the replies!
Since I will be driving from Moscow, this is problematic by car. We now, of course, have a service to transport a car by Russian Railways to St. Petersburg and even to Helsinki.
But it's still very expensive. Therefore, I still, probably, will travel by public transport. Although, what is there to argue, it would be more convenient to drive a car))

The best time to relax, I think that summer, you can go to many places. In the summer I often go to rest in Lappeenrata to relax, and every time I discover new places, inexpensive and at the same time very pleasant. This Friday I visited a cafe in Lappeenrat Golden Rax, it’s cool there and doesn’t hit the wallet, the prices are adequate. next weekend I plan to visit Cafe Isaak at Urheilukatu 6 (Urheilukatu, 6), eat buns. And how are your weekends going? I can advise a couple more places where you can relax in the loperant, for example
Cafe El'Si (Elisa ja Simo Lindroos), about places where it is better to go in lappeerante, there are also proven places: http://infintur.ru/destinations/lappeenranta/25-gde-perekusit-v-lappeenrante. We unsubscribe about proven places and impressions.

I confirm: El'Si is a small interesting cafe in the very center of Lappeenranta, inside stylized as an old Finnish house. I often dine there.
Buffet: soup, hot, salads to choose from, for dessert - Finnish lingonberry jelly, tea and coffee. There are always few people there, you rarely meet Russians, which is also great.
