5 days in Turku Itinerary

Sitting at the mouth of the Aura River, Turku is one of Finland's quaintest and most historically rich towns.

Escape the urban bustle at The Archipelago Trail and Vepsa Island. Take a break from Turku with a short trip to Kurjenrahka National Park in Poytya, about 54 minutes away. And it doesn't end there: delve into the distant past at Aboa Vetus & Ars Nova, make a trip to Naantali Old Town, enjoy some diversion at Moomin World, and brush up on your military savvy at Forum Marinum Maritime Centre.
