11 days in Turku Itinerary

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

Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Turku: Helsinki (Submarine Vesikko, Sea Fortress Suomenlinna, &more) and Nuuksio National Park (in Espoo). There's still lots to do: step into the grandiose world of Turku Castle, see the interesting displays at Kylamaki Village of Living History, browse the collection at Turku City Library, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Turku Cathedral.
