Jarvenpaa is "widely" known as the city of Sibelius and a few other artists who have been important in the history of Finland. It is a good city to visit if you want to experience some peaceful life in Finland at day time. There are various possibilities for sports as well. Recently renovated swimming hall and various running tracks (which serve as skiing tracks at winter) are also available.
At night time at weekends things become quite oposite. There are many bars in Jarvenpaa. The best one for young visitors is probably Yano whereas more mature visitors might want to visit McArthurs or Korona.
Teenagers of Jarvenpaa like to hang around at the "Rantapuisto" (literaly Beachpark) which is quite near to the central. Avoiding the area at weekends is advised.
