Set on the banks of the Aura River, Turku combines history, culture and a lively riverside atmosphere. Finland's oldest city is compact and easy to explore, with restaurants, museums and many of its best-known sights close to the river.
Turku is also a gateway to the Finnish archipelago and a convenient starting point for continuing your journey elsewhere in Finland.
