Riihimäki
Riihimäki is in Tavastia Proper, about 70 km north of Helsinki. The most notable attractions in the city are museums, such as the Glass Museum hosted in the former glass factory of Riihimäen Lasi, and while Riihimäki isn't exactly a prime tourist destination, quite a number of travellers pass through every day.
