Rana Cultural Walks are artist-led guided walks departing from the Cultural Centre Villa Rana (Seminaarinkatu 13, Jyväskylä). In summer 2026, walks following in the footsteps of Yrjö Blomstedt are offered under the guidance of dancer Laura Suonperä, as well as two family-friendly interactive tours at Villa Rana and in the garden with the Wivilöö ghost.

The walks are conducted in Finnish. People with mobility and vision impairments are advised to bring an assistant - Yrjö's route is wheelchair-accessible with an assistant, and the assistant's participation is free. Walks are not held during heavy rain; any cancellation will be announced on Villa Rana's website and social media channels at least one hour before the start.

Tickets: 12 € / 8 € (students, unemployed, pensioners, conscripts, etc.) for Yrjö's walks and 5 € for Wivilöö tours. Tickets are purchased through Villa Rana's event calendar - advance sales close one hour before the event, after which available spots can be inquired about on-site. Group offers can be requested at [email protected].
