In Pargas there is something for everyone
The Churchstrait that runs through the city has been an important route. Now if you want to sit down and relax, a park bench by the strait is a perfect place to do just that. There you can see the boats cruising through the city on a warm summer day. A short walk from the Churchstrait there is Pargas pedestrian street called Köpmansgatan. Here you can find different stores and cafés, in the summer there are often many people walking on this street.
