The King's Road once connected Bergen in Norway to Vyborg in Russia via Sweden and southern Finland, passing through Kirkkonummi. The road was used by kings, bishops, burgesses and couriers for centuries. Several lodges, mansions and inns sprung up along the route to serve passers-by. The King's Road is clearly sign-posted and you can travel this historic route on foot or by bicycle. There are still several beautiful mansions and inns dotted along the road.

Don't forget to visit Hvitträsk Museum, housed in buildings designed by architects Herman Gesellius, Armas Lindgren and Eliel Saarinen at the beginning of the 20th century. The premises were built from dark wood and natural grey stone in the national romantic style for the architects to work and live in. When you have soaked up enough cultural heritage, you can enjoy a delicious meal at the museum restaurant.
