6 days in Turku Itinerary

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

Take a break from the city and head to Bellevue Beach and Bike Rental - by Carfield. You'll discover tucked-away gems like Vepsa Island and Hanko Water Tower. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Turku: Hanko (Tulliniemi Nature Path, Hanko Museum, &more), Inkoo (Fagervik Museum & Inkoon kirkko) and Fagervik Church (in Raseborg). Next up on the itinerary: trek along The Archipelago Trail, take in the spiritual surroundings of St Henry's Ecumenical Art Chappel, steep yourself in history at Kuusisto Manor, and take in the architecture and design of Abo Akademi.
