Lahti is an attitude
The love for this glorious city is literally tattooed on the skin of many townies here. There is plenty of Lahti attitude also in our local traditional delicacy Lihamuki, as well as in many of our well-known townies like Jari Litmanen, Cheek, Brädi, Arttu Lindeman and Osmo Vänskä. Many of them have had a boost for their careers from our University of Applied Sciences, too!
