20 days in Turku Itinerary

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

You'll find plenty of places to visit near Turku: Helsinki (Toy Museum Suomenlinna Helsinki, Sea Fortress Suomenlinna, &more), Espoo (Nuuksio National Park & Arctic Expedition) and Maritime Exhibition Sjofartshuset (in Nagu). There's much more to do: step into the grandiose world of Turku Castle, get lost in a book at Turku City Library, take in nature's colorful creations at Turku University Botanical Garden, and take an in-depth tour of Pharmacy Museum and Qwensel House.
