Few kilometres long cascade of rapids in the Torniojoki river, some 14 km north of the town. The village has maintained its fishermen culture which probably dates back to the 13th century. Local way to catch fish is by dipnetting (Finnish: lippoaminen). The varrassiika, whitefish roasted on a spit by an open fire is a local delicacy. The fishermen village is included to the list of nationally significant built cultural environments.

Domestic animal farm in Arpela, 20 km from Tornio. Riding tours and camps. Open all year round.

A unique golf course in the golfing world. The border is crossed four times during the game and you have the possibility to make a hole in one across the border on the sixth hole. The time difference between Finland and Sweden is one hour so it takes an hour to hit the green! In the middle of the summer the sun shines 24 hours a day so you can play even during the night.

Summer fun for children. The park is situated in Tornio, close to the water tower.

One of the most beautiful wooden churches still in use in Finland. The church was designed and completed by Matti Härmä in 1689, making the building over 300 years old.
