Coat of Arms of Kouvola

Kouvola is a town in southeastern Finland. It is located 134 km northeast of the capital, Helsinki.

Kouvola's central location within Finland's borders and as a border post between the European Union and Russian Federation makes it a town full of hustle and bustle. The town originally grew up around the junction of the north-south and east-west rail tracks. It was also a major road transport junction. Kouvola still treasures and benefits from its logistically good location.
