The town has interesting old buildings, and the seaside is open with parks all around. There are some good restaurants in the Rewell shopping mall. With buses it is easy to get to places slightly out of town. There are playgrounds in the middle of the city for kids and the main library has books in various languages for them to sit and read for awhile. We liked Edvin's Path, which you can get to on bus #15.
However, if you want to see the Kvarken archipelago, wait until mid-June to visit Vaasa, otherwise there will be no boat tours.

Good: Good shopping opportunities, especially at Kivihaka.
Good: Good shopping opportunities, especially at Kivihaka. I estimate the Swedish-speaking percentage of the residents at 75%, probably the highest in Finland by some margin. 24/7 kiosk at Shell Pitkäkatu. Generally nice-looking city. Tropiclandia was nice for a summer day.
Less impressive: Getting to/from the ferry pier is chaotic (especially when the ferrytaxi driver didn't speak Swedish nor English). It was not easy to find any of the city's restaurants.
Personal tip: I'd favour trying to figure out how to get from downtown to Kivihaka by bus next time, due to the overly snaking pavement paths between the two.

The people are nice and helpful and the town centre is small enough to walk through it and see everything on foot. The beach is lovely, especially in winter and it guarantees for a great walk and great scenery.
The bus service was a bit difficult to grasp as bus stops are not well marked and buses are not frequent especially outside the centre of Vaasa.

A very quiet place with many shops and bars.
A very quiet place with many shops and bars. However nothing is really thought for tourists. We wanted to visit the Kvarken Penisula 25 km North. There are buses going there a couple of weeks in July but August was already considered Fall period. The last day we were there, we were planning to take the bus used by scholars, following Tourist Office advice but the information turned wrong. We tried to rent a car but there was nothing available. We went to Tempere that we really liked for its friendly people and its lakes.

The seaside walking paths are great for dog owners.

We enjoyed the flat breads of Niska Vasa.
The Aroma Bageri & Konditori is a highly recommended plae if you like well baked bread and sweet buns!
The UNESCO World Heritage site Kvarken Archipelago is close by and worth visiting for ones who like to see nature on their trips.
Very solid service as expected from Sokos hotel brand, helpful personnel. We came in Christmas time, when lots of places are closed, so were hotel restaurants on the Christmas eve, which was kind of expected. Sokos staff helped us to find and book Christmas dinner in another hotel, which was highly appreciated from our side as otherwise we would have to eat salads purchased from the only open grocery store nearby.
View to the market square was fantastic as it was snowing almost all the time, beautiful.
The place is really nice, located in an old wooden building. You have your own private kitchen in the room, but can also use the common kitchen. Peter is the best host ever. He was very attentive, asking all our questions via WhatsApp. He provided us some bikes for free to visit the city and help with some problems we had with the washing machine. If you visit Vaasa, stay here!
First things first, maybe the best hotel breakfast in a long time! The double room had a very comfortable bed, and the room was very clean and fresh and seemed newly renovated. However at other stays we noticed the older rooms are not at all as comfortable and fresh so it really depends on the room you get!
One of the best places we stayed in Finland. Wonderful decorations with model ships and nautical bric-a-brac. The sauna was great. Very spacious and well appointed. Information from host was complete, concise and timely. Breakfast was modest, though good and fresh. We wished we could have stayed longer.
We arrived late, after closing time of reception. The hotel was well prepared for this eventuality, they provided us with door code as well as code to the key box. Parking lot had places, no problem finding the rooms.
Rooms were decent, nice. Breakfast was a good basic hotel breakfast selection.
The staff was really friendly - even though the hotel closed early, they arranged us the dinner and an upgraded room with sauna. The hotel is a bit old-fashioned but comfortable and clean, and most importantly, quiet and dark at night. The breakfast was adequate. Overall a really nice experience.
Perfect place for a family. Spacious appartment with all the facilities needed in a perfect location in Vaasa. Lovely decorated appartment making the stay comfortable and relaxed. We can recommend this place to all families up to 6 people. Just great!!
The hotel is situated at the center of the city so it is so much convenient. There is a food court and cafeteria in the same building so you don't need to go far when you feel lazy. It is really quiet inside the room.
Very comfortable, well equipped, good cooking utensils, modern, safe, homely. The theatre parking garage is excellent. Location in Vaasa is the best possible.
This place is not a four stars hotel at any level. It is worn out, pretty 1993 and the days of the glory are gone. It would need desperately the face lift.
