7 days in Turku Itinerary

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

Attractions like Moomin World and Viihdeuimala Vesihelmi make great kid-friendly stops. Get out of town with these interesting Turku side-trips: Hanko (Bellevue Beach, Gunnarstrand, & more), Raseborg Castle (in Raseborg) and Old Rauma (in Rauma). And it doesn't end there: explore the historical opulence of Turku Castle, get engrossed in the history at Ett Hem Museum, delve into the distant past at Aboa Vetus & Ars Nova, and have fun at Flowpark.
