12 days in Turku Itinerary

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

Your inner history buff will appreciate Turun Kauppahalli and Turku Cathedral. Head to Aboa Vetus & Ars Nova and Bellevue Beachfor plenty of shopping. Venture out of the city with trips to Pernio (Ruukin kehräämö ja puoti Oy & Teijo National Park), Rosala Viking Centre (in Rosala) and Hanko (Hanko Water Tower, Tulliniemi Nature Path, & more). There's much more to do: appreciate the extensive heritage of Old Rauma, stroll around Hagen - Ramsholmen - Hogholmen, enjoy the sand and surf at Aurlahti Beach, and trek along The Archipelago Trail.
