Turku is the oldest city in Finland, located on the banks of the Aura River and at the entrance to the picturesque archipelago. Its history goes back to the Middle Ages, and the urban space feels a cozy mixture of trade traditions, maritime heritage and cultural revitalization. Walks along the embankments and old streets give a sense of calm and easy romance, and flowering parks and museum cameras make the atmosphere truly attractive.
Man-made sights of Turku are diverse and impressive: the medieval castle of Turku (Abo Castle) with museum expositions and powerful walls, the Cathedral of Turku as a symbol of religious history, the ancient Market Square and the monument to Peru Brahe, the Botanical Garden of the University of Turku, the estates of Kuusisto and Vanhalinna, as well as the summer residence of the President of Cultarant. The city’s museums, port and waterfronts complement this list, creating a route for lovers of architecture, history and urban life.
The natural gems around Turku are no less impressive: the archipelago sea with thousands of islands, the remote and picturesque island of Kekar, the coastline with cozy coves and promenades along the Aura River, as well as green corners and parks within the city. Seascapes, rocky coastal areas and quiet islands create ideal conditions for walks, picnics and sea excursions that reveal Finnish nature in all its diversity.
