About Sipoo
Sipoo, Sibbo in Swedish, is a bilingual municipality of about 23,000 between Helsinki and Porvoo, and more of its area is water than land. It mixes three kinds of place: commuter suburbs, old farming countryside and an archipelago where people kayak. Nikkilä is the administrative centre, with the old and new churches almost side by side just outside it, while Söderkulla in the south has shops, a library and an Art Nouveau manor house. The homes are spread around the municipality. Evenings are cottage evenings with the sauna, since Helsinki's restaurants are a drive or a bus ride away.
