The yacht race, held annually in early July, is the highlight of the summer in Hanko. Competitors come from all the countries of the Baltic coast and, due to the numerous spectators (and those who use the regatta as an excuse for coming to party), Hanko takes on a festive, even rowdy, carnival atmosphere.
The House of the four winds was hosted by C. G. E. Mannerheim in 1927–1933.
Hangon Casino
Not a real casino these days, but a lavish wooden structure with nice view of the sea. The original Hanko Sushi restaurant operates here in summer.
The museum presents, researches and preserves the history of Hanko since 1909.
Tulludden
The tip of the peninsula is an important bird watching area, as migrating birds use this as the last spot to rest and wait for good weather before the sea crossing in autumn, and the first when arriving in spring.
Hangöbefästningarna
The ruins of historical fortress built at the end of the 18th century.
