Drop-in in Riihimäki – get a local guide to your new city

Would you like to explore Riihimäki through the eyes of a local?

The drop-in guide will help you find the best places in the city and quickly get back to your daily routine.

What is a throw-in?

The thrower is a volunteer from Riihimäki who:

• presents the city's services and everyday life
• shares his best tips for Riihimäki
• helps the new resident get to know the environment

The goal is to make moving to Riihimäki easy and smooth.

What do we do with the throw-in?

The person who drops in commits to at least one meeting. For example, you can:

• explore the center of Riihimäki
• visit the library or museums
• go outside, exercise or even go swimming

After the meeting, communication continues exactly as you agreed – a single meeting can even start a lifelong friendship.

All throw-ins are over 18 years old. Get to know the city's throw-ins.
